FOR CHARITY.

Dr. Jackues Dessler. who lately located here as optical specialist,, is a noted play-writer in the German language, and one of his plays, entitled “The False Graf,” has been performed at the German theatre in New York, with great si ccess. The Doctor desires to assist the poor of Rensselaer, and has written another play entitled, “The Father’s Heart,” a melodrama, ahd translated it into English. He is willing to present this play here, which is new to our people, and take the leading part, the entire proceeds to go to charity. Being a stranger here, the Doctor desires us to bring this matter before the public 'and asks that some society of the city should communicate with him in reference to the matter. As an affair o £ this kind would no doubt be well patronized, it would be a welcome help to the poor people, and we hope one of our societies will take the matter in hand and interview the Doctor.
