The Play To-Night.
Many believe that the play of "The Scouts of the Plains, or Red Deviltry as it is," is the same as presented at the Academy last winter by the Buffalo Bill party. We are assured by Mr. Schoffel, the manager, that it is entirely different in play, and more interesting, presented more vividly the scens enacted upon the frontier.

Buffalo Bill.
The Academy of Music was crowded at night to see Buffalo Bill in his play "The Scouts of the Plains, or Red [?] as it Is". He was ably [?] by the full strength of the Rochester opera house company. In some of the acts, especially where the cave scene is presented, there is a noticeable improvement over the last year's performance. The slaughter of savages and the branding of knives was relieved by the [?] the blundering Dutchman, and the [?] of the sanctimonious Quaker, cut out by the government to civilize [?] Indian with tracts, and the audience [?] with laughter and applauded the happy terminations. The play throughout gave satisfaction, and Buffalo Bill [?] console himself with the fact that he has not been forgotten by the [?] public. The Rochester company embraces a large amount of talent, and the legitimate drama has a proud reputation. They proved themselves [?] to the task last night in the representation of the frontier life. The company appears in Elmira this evening.

On Tuesday of next week, Buffalo Bill is to play at the Opera House the drama of the above [name?]. He appeared at Syracuse recently, and a journal of that city speaks of the performance as follows: The Opera House was filled to its utmost capacity last evening, by an appreciative audience The entertainment from beginning to end gave immense satisfaction, as testified by the deep attention and the continual showers of applause. There were war dances, scalping scenes, with Indians in their war paint, hand to hand encounters with the savages, and many other scenes of equally thrilling interest. The principal hero of the play was Buffalo Bill. Parties were heard to exclaim that they could watch the drama all night long.

Buffalo Bill.
This distinguished border-man with the Rochester Opera House Company play at the Opera House in this city to-morrow the drama of the "Scouts of the Plains" or "Red Deviltry as it is." It is an intensely sensational piece with lots of startling situations, stirring combats and hair-breadth escapes. The company is a good one of course. Besides the leading man himself, Buffalo Bill, there are Henry Rybner, Mr. Horton, Charles Bradshaw, Miss Mary Young and othe who are well known and favorites here. They will doubtless have a large audience. Seats are for sale at the bookstore of Preswick, Morse & Co.
