-The "Scouts" had a decidedly thin house last evening, and it was a pretty thin entertainment also. It was pleasant to look upon such fine looking specimens of [?] as Texas Jack and Buffalo Bill, pleasing to witness the graceful movements of Morlacchi and amusing to hear and see Mr. Fletcher, who is the Dutch comedian; aside from this the show is of no account, and could only be tolerated by gallery gods. The troupe will close the season in Boston in about two weeks, when Mr. Omohundro (Texas Jack) has an engagement as guide to an English party, through Mexico and Texas. Mr. Codey (Buffalo Bill) will remain in this vicinity for a while, and Morlacchi will retire to her farm in Billerica. The local Indians will retire to Common street and the "Plains," never ceasing to steal into a dime novel show when occasion offers.

THE SCOUTS.-Lovers of the sensational will remember that the celebrated scouts, Texas Jack and Buffalo Bill, will be at Music Hall this (Saturday) evening, and it will well repay those who attend to go and witness their delineations of the wild scenes of frontier life. These noted persons never fail of interesting and instructing those who compose the audiences before which they appear, having had thrilling experiences in the scenes which are depicted.

Boston Theatre. The return of those real scouts of the plains, Messrs. Cody and Omohundro-Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack-will awaken memories of past excitements among the boys, and lead the elders to seek illustration of what has formed the subject of many a tale of adventure since the East began the work of peopling the great West.
