The performance at Martin opera house last evening, which served to present to the public those heroes of border life, Buffalo Bill, Texas Jack and Wild Bill, was of a much higher grade than the trash which Ned Buntline inflicted upon the public last year. The entertainment opened with a farce in which Morlacchi already famous as a danseuse appeared in a speaking part and also sang with excellent effect. The "scouts" have improved in their knowledge of stage business and have developed into very passable actors. But their strong points are their splendid physical development and the way in which they handle those magnificent repeating rifles. They are well supported by a company of more than average merit, and altogether the performance is a great improvement upon what they gave us last year. They appear to-night at a grand matinee to-morrow.
