You have doubtless heard Of the earth
quake at Lisbon, the destruction of Pom
pell, the fire at Chicago, and the calamity
at the brooklyn theater-squeeze all these
into one, and it might possibly give you a
faint idea of the profound sensation in
Dutchtown when the announcement was
made on the 10th of January last, that
Peter Denert had married the girl who was
to have been the wife of his son. Peters
wife had been buried exactly six weeks
and he married girl just forty-five years
his junior. His son reproached him with
his periidy, and lie kicked him out of doors.
He installed the belle as mistress of the
house, and when the girls demonstrated he
kicked them out toe. When they departed,
they took part of their dead mothers ward
robe. The old man had them all arrested
for larceny they had the old man arrested
for assault and battery. 1t was then dis
covered, after they came into court, that
Z,
SO they called for partition of the estate,
and it looks now as if the children would
get all, and the perfidious old scoundrel,
whole stole his sons wife, will find himself
kicked into the street, with nothing to con-
sole him but the loving embrace of the
tickle Dutchtown belle.
The theaters are still pursuing the even
tenor OF their way. The two leading thea
ters-the Union Square and Daly's-as yet
show no signs of change. "The DAM
chefs, y which has been running for months
at the Union Square, is one of the very
best plays ever produced in America 1t is
not only the excellence of the play which
eommends it, but the splendid manner in
which it is produced, and the unrivaled
acting to which it gives opportunity. To
the credit of Messrs. Shook & Palmer he
it recorded that they have done more than
any other managers to develop and foster
American talent. The success which has
followed Mr.. Palmer from the first, has
been without a parallel in management.

man by the name of Golden died three
years ago, leaving his two sons over sixty
thousand dollars. They both began life
of the widest dissipation, and year ago

On the eastern borders of Brooklyn, is Il
classic region known to geograpbers as
Dutchtown. This famous locality has long
divided the hon0rs with Crow Hill-sauer-
kraut and lager being the products of the
one, ard spitz dogs and little darkies being
the strong crop of the other. One Of the
magnates of Dutchtown was Peter Derert,
well-to-do Deutscher of sixty five, who
had been in various kinds of business, and
had succeeded with the aid of Mrs. Deuert
and the assistance of a number of the lit
tie Dement'S, in laying up something for a
rainy day-not but that it is desirable to
have something good to take on days when
it does not rain, but this excellent figure of
speech describes a person in exceedingly
comfortable circumstances. In November
last, Mrs. Denert was gathered to her faith
ers, leaving family of six children behind
her. One of these was child about four
years of age, then there were four girls
between thirteen and twenty, and son
about twenty-five. This young gentleman
had been smitten with the charms of a
young lady known as the Dutchtown belle
His suit had been successful, and to the
bitter grief of ali the butchers and lager
brewers of that delightful locality, it was
settled that the nuptals of Kiddy Denert
and the Dutchtown belle should come off
on New Years Day. In the meantime, as
| have informed you, Mrs D. had been
called away. Great grief was in the Den
ert family; the old man went into Mysteries
at the funeral; and one-eyed Becker, who
kept the saloon opposite, said dot he dought
his he'd vos kracked. Young Denert, out
of decent respect for his mothers men,
DRY, agreed to postpone his marriage; and
in the meantime the Dutchtown belle had
shown such delicate attention to all the
members Of the family, that she completely
won the hearts of the young girls, aud
made such an impression on the old man
