Buffalo Bill's Company.

The Opera House will be occupied this evening by Hon. Wm. F. Cody, otherwise known as Buffalo Bill and about whom has been thrown a greater amount of crude heroism than of any living man -- thanks to Ned. Buntline. Whenever a man attains to any great amount of notoriety in this country, he either lectures or goes on the stage. Buffalo William has taken the latter course, and appears to-night. He does not lay clam to being a great actor but surrounds himself with a company that can [fitly?] carry out the design of the playwright. Whatever may be said of his acting, he was drawn more money by it than two-thirds of the other stars in the theatrical [?] and has made money where others have failed. The play for to-night is "May Cody," written by an officer of the United States Army, which fact however does not make the play any better. It is said to be interesting and while crude, is not so idyllic as as "Davy Crocket." The company will be all that can be desired for the presentation of the noble play. It will be certain to attract a large house.
