THE BORDER MEN AT FISHER'S HALL BUFFALO BILL, TEXAS JACK, AND WILD BILL the scouts and [?] of the "[?] will" appear this evening at Fisher's [?]. They are accompanied by a troupe of real wild "Ingins," who will do the required scalping, war dancing, etc,[?] to the most approved style known to bar barians. These real heroes have but lately united themselves for the purpose of getting a vivid picture of real border life on the great wesrtern prairies, and one which is destined in a few short years to entirely pass away.[?] has dramatized the cheif facts in the wild career of each into a number of stories, which are a brilliant opitome of the customary wild life they [?]. If one can find no relish in the scenes of strife and warfare preserited they certainly ought to attend for the purpose of [?] these real heroes themselves. It is said of Wild Bill himself, that he alone has in his life probably killed one hundred men while the others are not far behind him in their imaginary record. In short they are the most noted scouts in the world. All have been made subjects of more or less literary attention, and the American boy who has not heard of some one of them is indeed a curiosity. The comedy [?] with fan is good, and the whole presentation unexceptionable in every reaped. We present for them a crowded house and the most attentive and blessed of audiences.

THE BORDER MEN AT FISHER'S HALL.-
As we predicted, a crowded house greeted Buffalo Bill and his troupe of heroes- and some who are not so heroic- at Fisher's Hall on Saturday night. The sight of a few stray Indians and some fine looking fellows wearing sombreros on the street during the afternoon was, of itself, the strongest possible advertisement to the juvenile portion of our theater-goers, that the galleries would be crowded. But everybody went who had any love for the wild and exciting life which the past few years has witnessed on our western borders. This hardly necessary to say that the acting was all and even more than would be expected from men whose lives have been passed on a real stage of action, and not in a mimic presentation of it on the stage. Each of the real heroes as he appeared on the scene, was greated by rounds of applause, and their frank, manly actions and words at once placed the audience in sympathy with them. The scenes of struggle and death, of [scouting?] and attack were vividly rendered, and the closing tableaux called forth repeated applause. The comedy of the drama was well supported in Rena Maeder as "Kitty Muldoon," the Irish girl, and also by "Snake-root Sam;" these were good, and yet some may think that "The Old Vet," by Fred G. Maeder, the dramtist himself, was really the best comdey presented. The acting of the Misses Safford and Hudson, as the "Rose of the Plains" and the "Wild Bud," was at times truly eloquent, and was received with appreciation.

The drama itself is nothing peculiar beyond being a chain of striking pictures loosely strung together; but it serves its purpose; and few can ever expect to get a more realistic picture of the wild "border" life than was presented last night.
