THE BORDER MEN AT FISHER'S HALL- Buffalo Bill, Texas [word?], and Wild Bil[word?] the scouts and hunters of the "BON[word?] will appear this evening at Fisher's Hall. They are accompanied by a troupe of real wild "Ingina who will do the required scalping, war dancing, etc, according to the most aprroved style knwon to barbarians. These real herpers have but lately united themselves for the purpose of guessing a vidie ploture of seal border life on the great western prairies, and one which is destined in a few short years, to entirely pass away. Meader has dramatized the cheif facts in the wild career of each into a number of scenes which are a brilliant options of the customary wild life they depict. If one can find no relish is the scenes of strife and warfare presented they certainly ought to attend for the purpose of staing the real heroes themselves. It is said of the Will Bill himself, that he alone has in his life probably killed one hundred men whil 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 in deed curiosity. The comedy intersperred with fan, is good, and the whole presentation unexceptionable in every respect. We predict for their a crowded house and the most attentive and messed 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 hadany 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 ina mimic presentation of it on the stage. Each of the real heroes as he appeared on the scene, was greeted 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 dramatist himself, was really the best comedy 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 nothign 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.

BRAINARD'S OPERA HOUSE.--- The "Scouts of the Plains," whose other names are Texas Jack, Buffalo Bill, and Wild Bill, drew a very crowded house last evening at Brainard's Opera House, and gave a very pleasant entertainment. Buffalo Bill the king of border men, the dashing Texas Jack, and the great plainsmen, humble scout, and law-preserver, wild Bill, created a decided sensation in the drama, and gave a realistic rendition of scenes in the Western wilds that called forth enthusiatic plaudits from the entire assemblage. They give an entertainment far superior to their previous visit, and the experience acquired is evidenced by their every action. They are extraordianry specimens of superior physical manhood, which, coupled with the romance of their deeds, their "dangers by flood and field," justly entitles them to the position they hold in the estimation of the masses. The remain tonight only, and the thrilling scenes and startling situations through which the drama leads them will insure them a crowded farewell. The performance is highly enjoyable and worth a visit. The dramatic company, in connection with Mr. Maeder, the author, is unexceptionally good.
