An Incorrigibie boy Committed 80
Jail Here.

Edward Lewis, small boy Who
has celebrated his fifteenth birth
day, was brought here from Fred
ericksburg yesterday and lodged in
the city Jail. He was arrested by Post
Office Inspector owens, charged with
rihing etter-boxes, and has confessed his
guilt.
Young Lewis is an orphan; he Is highly
connected, but he is possessed OF a rowing
disposition, and his many vagaries nave
alienated the affections and interest OF his
kinsfolk He Is a bright and interesting
10y with an intelligent face, and Is par
ticularly neat in his clothing and general
appearance.
INSPECTOR owens, who has been investi-
eating complaints of lost mail at Frede-
Ticksburg. discovered the boy stealing
from lock-boXes that were accidentally
left open. He had evidently found this
occupation lucrative, as letters addressed
10 the National Bank of Fredericksburg
and prominent merchants were found In
his possession.
Lewis returned from Jacksonville,
whittier he had wandered in the wake OF
the soldiers, only a week or so ago.
His friends IN this city declined TO go
hail for the boy, and expressed the desire
that he might be sent to the reforma-
torv. for Trey had found him quite in
corrigible. He will have to remain In
Ial until the next grand jury term, for
hs was committed to that institution
