The Prairie Scouts.

This attractive play will he presented at Frauenthal[?] Opera House. on the 2d of June. To give our readers some idea of the merits and success of the company, we append the following from an exchange: "This play was presented by its famous delineators, Buffalo Bill ([?]on. W. F. Cody).

The [?] of Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack seem to be illimitable, for they are as much at home on the stage as on the war path, and the perfect ease with which they lassoed live Indians and carried them off the field with one hand was refreshing to behold. In the character of Cole Durg, the trapper, Ned Buntline shows himself a most accomplished actor as well as a novelist, and Miss Bessie S[?]dlow, as Dove Eye, was excellent. But the most beautiful and artistic acting was given by Senorita Eloe Car[?], as Hazel Eye, combining with physical beauty rare powers of elecution and dramatic talent. The comedians of the play.
