OVER ZEAL.-Charles Rosa, % boy about
eighteen years Of age, was arrested about
fortnight ago in the Fourth District on the
charge of larceny. He was arraigned be-
fore Judge Mccullough, and sent Down in
default of $1,000 bonds, where Lie remained
twelve days. When the case came up tor
trial it was found the officers making the ar
rest were unable TO make case against
him. Meantime the father of the boy APP
peared and promised to send him to sea if
ne was discharged. The boy bore bad
name, and the Judge. probably acting for
what he deemed the best, turned the boy
over to his fathers custody on Wednesday.
While going out of the door of the court
house the officers rearrested the ooy. on the
nretense of wishing to take his picture for
the rogue's gallery. The judge ordered the
boy to be produced before him, and at once
released him, with rebuke to the officers
t.nr their over zeal.

Ducatel presides over the box Office, and is

ity and courtesy that much of the success
of this season is due. Tried and true. faith
full yet independent, no man in New Or

which he is held than Captain Ducatel.
We were much pleased to note that on the
