THEATRE COMIQUE.

Buffalo Bill, Kit Carson, Jr., and Arizona John,
gentlemen who have devoted a considerable portion
of their lives to the slaughter of Mr. Delano's
pets, the untutored aborigines of the plains, appeared
at the Comique last night in one of those
blood-curdling dime novel dramas, in which the
principal occupation of the dramatis personae
seems to be "raising hair." In this pleasing pursuit
they were energetically assisted by other
gentlemen of similar sanguinary ideas, and a great
of shooting and scalping was accordingly introduced
to the intense delight of the small boys
who, not being able to visit the boundless prairie
in person, are content to see a small segment of
it shown on the boards of the Comique.
