The scouts appeared at Corinthian Hall last night before a tremendous house. The piece represented is a dramatisationo f one of Ned Buntline's Indian stories, and being novel was well recieved. The play, however, was a second consideration. the crowd came to see Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack. The first, W. F. Cody, is a fine specimen of manhood and the latter is also a good looking sample of the western scouts. Both were dressed in thre prairie fashion and acquitted themselves well. M'lle Mortacchi as the "dusty maid of the forest," was placed in a novel position for a danseuse, but nevertheless assumed the character very credibly. Judging by the applause, the audience were evidently perfectly satisfied withthe whole performance. A matinee will be given this afternoon, and the final performace this evening.
