AMUSEMENTS.

THE SCOUT

The Buffalo Bill Combination last night drew one of the largest audiences that ever assembled in the Opera House. The second circle was packed and nearly every seat below was occupied. The famous scouts met with an enthusiastic reception sad were greeted throughout the play with applause that made the building shake. If applause means anything the audience was pleased with the play and obtained the fall worth of their money out of the performance. The featured were Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack, who are not actors but good shots, and who make up for the lack of dramatic talent by keepng the audience in a state of excitement. In the play "Life on the Border" the scouts always turn up at the right time to spoil the game of the renegade and to kill a few Indians. It is of the blood and thunder style and well calculated to raise a storm in the galleries. It was noticed last night that the seventy-five seals made their share of the noise and vigorously helped the bous out. There are some features in the play outside of the scouts deserving of special mention. The Quaker, by Thomas B. Gisham, was an excellent piece of acting and received a liberal share of the favore bestowed by the audience. Old Sloat, by J.V. Arlington, was highly meritorious. The backwoodsman was represented to the life and "Old Sloat" came in for applause, and that frequently. The other characters were fairly given and all that demand a "Life on the Border" by the scouts is an excellent performance of its kind, and calculated to please those who like border plays. The drama was preceded by a comedy, in which the famous danseuse, Morlacchi, appeared in a number of characters, succeeded in pleasing the audience. The Buffalo Bill combination can depend on Quincy for a good house at any time in the future.
