BUFFALO BILL.

A crowded house greeted the Buffalo Bill troupe at the opera house last evening. The entertainment opened with the laughable farce of "Turn Him Out," which was rendered in good style. The audience was anxious to witness the Knight of the Plains, however, and when Buffalo Bill made his appearance on the stage he was loudly applauded. The play ran through smoothly, Mr. Cody displaying remarkable skill with the rifle. The play is too much of a one man production to suit the public. Buffalo Bill is the beginning and ending of the show. He does not allow his support to make any hits, which is to be regretted. Mr. Williard, as the Jew, Moses Moloch, made a positively favorable impression, and would have shown up in good style if he had received the opportunity. We hope that when Mr. Cody appears in this city again he will give his support a change to display their abiity as actors. Mr. Cody has improved wonderfully in his acting, since his last appearance here. He is graceful in all his movements, picturesque in appearance, has a poetic conception of his poses and appreciates the mimic surroundings.
