AMUSEMENTS.
BUFFALO BILL TO-NIGHT.
All lovers of the sensational drama will of course attend the performance of Buffal-Bill and his excellent company, at the Opera House to-night, on which occasion will be presented the new play written especially for Buffalo Bill, entitled, "Twenty Days, or Buffalo Bill's Pledge." The piece is pronounced the best of this class ever written, and no doubt Buffalo Bill will attract a crowded house to the Opera House to-night to see it played.

AMUSEMENTS.
BUFFALO BILL
"Twenty Days, or Buffalo Bill's Pledge," is certainly the best play Buffalo Bill has ever had, and last evening it attracted a large audience to the Opera House to see it played by the noted scout, author and actor, Buffalo Bill, himself, and his excellent supporting company. With each succeeding season. Buffalo Bill's acting improves, and he has never appeared to such advantage as he did last night in his new play. He pleased his audience in the balcony and dress circle, and delighted the "gods" in the gallery. The specialties by the different members of the company were all of them good. The Indians form a very attractive part of the show, and, taken as a whole, Buffalo Bill's entertainment last night was the best he has ever offered the people of Springfield.

THE SHOWS.
Buffalo Bill Last Night -- Bertha Weiby -- A Musical Event You Ought Not to Mise.
Buffalo Bill had an immense audience last night -- the largest, perhaps, had by any combination this season. The house was crowded in every part; so much as that before the ending of the first act the box office was selling standing room only, and turning away seekers for fifty-cent tickets. The play presented was a great improvement over any of Buffalo Bill's former attempts. Cody himself walks the boards a great deal like an actor and if he hadn't a trifle too much [stagine?] about him we should call him at least up to the average -- something that would hardly have been expected of him a year or two ago. He is improving. The support is excellent in all parts. Not the least interesting part of the play was the Indian dances and Mr Cody's rifle shooting. The latter was exciting and excellently done, giving him a good chance to show off a remarkably fine physique and solid nerve. The Indian dances were something seen in no other show and well calculated to interest the curious as to the ways of a race fast perishing from the face of the earth.
