AMUSEMENTS.

THE SCOUTS OF THE PLAINS.
There was fair audience at the Opera House last night to see the last performance of Buffalo Bill, Texas Jack and their
spenid company. The performance be-
gan with a splendid farce, which was well
rendered throughout, after which M'lle
Morlacchi, one of the fiest danseuses and
pantomimists in the country, appeared and
was well received by the audience.
The play, entitled "Scouts of the Plains,"
was written expressly for this company,
and is one of the blood and thunder style,
where a young lady is stolen by the In-
dains and is recaptured by the brave
scouts, who are compelled to slay a thou-
sand of them, more or less, to rescue the
ladies. The paly gave very good satisfac-
tion and was highly appreciated by the
audience. The Quaker missionary and
the Teutonic gentleman personated their
characters in a superior manner, and by
their aplendid acting kep the audience in
roars of laughter, whenever the appear-
ed. The play contains a great deal of
sentiment and there is any amount of
shooting, scalping, &c.
