Music Hall Last Evening.

When Buffalo Bill visits Wilkes-Barre again, as an actor, it will be well for him and his audience if he takes a little better care of himself. He spoiled the play last evening. It was a tame performance throughout, and will not be apt to attract another house so good as that of last night. The farce of "Paddy Miles' boy," which preceded the drama, was quite well acted, Mr. George B. Charles being entitled to especial credit for his rendition of the character of the blundering Irishman. In the drama itself he was equally good. The play of "May Cody" was written for Buffalo Bill, and is, as may readily be inferred, a border drama, filled with what would have been exciting incidents, if they had been well played. The fancy shooting was a dead failure, as Bill missed shot after shot, which those who know him have seen him make time and again. A wise little donkey was introduced on the stage, and the little difficulty between the animal and Darby McCane was quite funny. The donkey's acting was a redeeming feature of the play -- and he was sober, too.
