Rush - The hoisting of the bell to the belfry of the Baptist church on Saturday, the 25th, was successfully accomplished under the engineering skill of County Surveyor Hickok. The bell is a large one weighing, without the bearings, 850 lbs and barely cleared the aperture by an inch. The hoisting apparatus worked perfectly and it only took ten minutes to raise it from the ground and place it in its proper position. Great credit is given Mr. Hickok for the successful accomplishment of the feat, as it had been proposed to send of L. B. Pickett, who raised the Fairdale bell, but that was overruled in favor of home talent. The bell is an exceedingly sweet toned one and the society is to be congratulated on the possession of such a pleasant addition to the church.

Flynn (Dem) for school director, on account of Mr. Flynn being a hotel-keeper, but it did not seem to cut any ice, as he received the largest vote of any of the School Directors.

Death of Amos Bunnell: The late Amos Bunnell, of Rush, whose funeral took place on Sunday, the 19th, lived to the unusual age of 95 years and 3 months, retaining much of his native vigor up to a year or so of his death. He frequently walked to Birchardville, a distance of five miles, after he had passed 90. His memory of much of the early history of Montrose and vicinity and of the older inhabitants was quite vivid, and he liked to dwell on old times, old customs and contrast them with the present. At one time nearly everything was bought and sold by barter and a poor man had hard work to secure money to pay taxes, which had to be paid in cash. He remembered the first store in Montrose, the first store in Rush, the first wheeled vehicle and nearly the first of everything.
