AMUSEMENTS.-The "Scouts of the Plains,"
as presented at the Opera House last evening
by Buffalo Bill and troupe, was witnessed by
one of the largest audiences ever assembled
there. The upper gallery was crowded
mainly by boys from eight to sixteen year
of age, who for the last week or so have had
Indian continually on the brain. The
performance throughout was excellent, giving
the audience an idea of life on the Plains
and the dangers to which settlers are subjected
to from the Indians. The excellent
scenery belonging to the troupe enabled
them to do this almost to perfection and the
shouts of applause from those present
showed the efforts were not in vain. M’lle
Morlacchi, who takes the character of Pale
Dove, is an artist of no ordinary merit, as
her performance last evening showed. Such
a company as this always meets with success
in Po'keepsie .
