AMUSEMENTS.
WALL'S NEW OPERA HOUSE

On Monday night “Ned Buntline," with his troupe of wild Pawnee Indians, commences an engagement at Wall's, during which the public will be enabled to greet the gallant “Buffalo Bill” and the dashing "Texas Jack," of whom they have all read. The exhibition is of the sensational order and is true to life on the plains. Buffalo Bill'' and "Texas Jack '' are veritable characters, and all the scenes presented are such as may oftẹn be witnessed on the frontiers. There is an Indian death dance in it by real, genuine Sioux and Pawnee Indians, some lassoing, lots of shouting, bowie knife combat, with scalping and slashing and any amount of shrieking, yelling and shouting.

In other cities where this play has been produced the wildest enthusiasm has been displayed, and the greatest success has attended the presentation. Long before the hour for opening every seat was filled, numbers stood about the walls, the galleries were crowded, and hundreds were turned away and forced to return home who could not gain admittance.

It is worth the price of admission to see Ned Buntline, the celebrated author, and lecturer, who takes the part of Buffalo Bill, and, during the progress of the play, delivers a telling temperance speech. There are also ten live Indians, picked up on the plains of the West, all of whom take a part in the performance. We look for crowded houses during the stay of the company.
