The need of police seems to be more
necessary on Sundays, at this time of
year, while our citizens are at church,
than during the night watches. Petty
thieves go the rounds of yards where
there is any fruit for the purpose of pilfer-
ing. We hear of whole street row of
citizens on Sunday last, who were con-
strained to fOrego the nourishment of
their souls. for the purpose of protecting
their fruit. The editorial premises on
the same day. were not overlooked by
the marauders. The line of duty for the
future, in view of this fact, is not little
perplexing. One youngster last week was
caught by lady proprietor, and held
firmly, while the dust was taken out of
his jacket by a convenient gad. Some Of
these thieves are of mems growth. They
should. if identified, be handed over to
the executors of the law. ~

TRUMBULL.

Trumbull township is doing a good
work IN church building. A Christian so.
ciety at East Trumbull, of some fifty mem
bers, with elder KENDALL as pastor, are
glorying ia the prospect of having a new
church building before the sitting in of
winter. The people are in earnest in the
work, and among the most prominent in
putting his shoulder TO the wheel, is Mr..
A. R. EASTMAN. The location is pleas
ant one, and the erection of new and
commodious school house in the immedi-
ate vicinity, is not inappropriate, as edu-
Gallon is the handmade of religion.
At the Centre, the Disciples are build
ing church of fair -34x5O-
the frame being nearly up. Mr.. E. P.
SAUNDERS directs the building. The
building is to cost when completed, some
$4,000. The building, like the one in the
eastern part of the township, il is expect
ed, will be finished this fall.
THE CHINcH BUG, which has proved so
destructive in portions of the West, and
especially in Kansas, is no longer a
stranger to Ohio Mr.. FURNACE, of East
Trumbull. who has had an acquaintance
with the varmint in its western fields of
operation, has found them in such num-
bers upon his farm, as nearly 10 destroy
some OF his fields of grass. They have
also worked at his corn fodder. This last
crop, how stored for winter, is fairly alive
with them. They are very small. harm
less looking insect-black, with light
backs, but their name is truly, legion.
Having foothold, they will, no doubt,
spread over the land. Their identity may
be settled not only by their appearance,
but by their strong bed-bug favor when
mashed by the finger.

DELIVERING MILK.-The Boston Milk
Association suggests the following plan
for delivering milk, which we understand
is being adopted by some companies in
Cleveland: Side racks are arranged on
each side of the milk wagon containing
pint and quart bottles of fresh milk. The
customers return the bottles the next day
after delivery, and no pitchers, pans or
bowls are required. Each bottle is tight
