| 179Taylor Opera House was completely filled
on Saturday night to witness the performance
of Ned Buntline and his border scouts
and Indians. Of the piece itself but little
can be said, simple because there is but
little in it, except an astonishing amount
shooting, lassoing and scrimmaging generally
between the doughty scouts and their
red skinned foes. If the life of a frontiersman
in its reality is any thing resembling
that depicted upon the stage, one would
think it must be extremely unpleasant. The
performance was vociferously applauded by
the audience, in the gallery especially, who
seemed to enjoy the smell of gunpowder and
general strife and confusion. | 179
