ARREST OF "A MINIsTER.-The Blooming
ton Paragraph treats its readers to the fol-
lowing morsel-A minister of the gospel
named Sheppard, was lodged in tho Jail of this
county the other morning. He has been preach
ing for some time in the northern part of the
county, and he is charged with an offeHse sim
liar TO that which was charged upon a man
named Joseph, who was employed by veal
thy Egyptian, named Potiphar, great many
years ago. Great excitement is said to exist in
the northern part of tho county in relation to
the minister's arrest. Thursday, just after the
minister's examination was finished, in Hud-
son, he was attacked by a man while he was
in the charge of an officer. ii assailant broke
cane over his head, and would have injured
him severely had not the officers interfcred

LIVING TELEGRApH Posrs.-The proposition
to plant locustt trees along the lines of our rail-
roads and other public routes, to be used as
supports for the telegraphic wires, is an excel
lent one, and it is only remarkable that it was
not suggested and carried into execution long
ago. young locust will soon grow to pro-
per hight, and, aside from its beauty and health
ihess--important considerations in a country
from the settled portions of which the timber il
rapidly disappearing-it would afford perma-
nent, living, and growing support to the wires
of the telegraph for years to come. The econ
omy Of the project is manifest. When 0'Reily
was stretching his wires between the Atlantic
and the Mississippi, if locust saplings had beer
planted by the side of every post, permanent
and indcstructible telograph-way would now
be the onsequence-saving an expense of re-
pair and renewal, and adding to the picturesque
beauty of the traversed routes. Indeed, the
trees would be steadily increasing in value and
usefulness year aftor year.-Cin. Artisan.
