BUFFALO WILLIAM.

A very large and enthusiastic audience greeted the Buffalo Bill Combination on their last appearance at the Opera House last night.

The evenings performance began with a roaring farce, entitled the "Widows Victim," in which Meme. Morlacchi displayed her powers as a vocalist and danseuse. She has a wonderful voice, and her dancing is remarkably fine. The play of the evening entitled the "Scouts of the Prairies" followed and was presented in good style.

Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack figured extensively in the bill, and brought down the galleries by their heroic deeds and hair-breadth escapes. The number of Indians that were slain was terrible to contemplate, the stage being covered with the bodies of the fallen braves. The play is well produced, and is presented in an admirable manner. The Company have won a good reputation here, and should they visit Evansville again would no doubt meet with much success. They proceed from here to St. Louis where they commence a week's engagement at DeBar's on Monday.
