BUFFALO BILL.

The celebrated scout, Indian fighter and actor, arrived with his company at six o'clock this morning, and is quartered at the Robinson House. To-night the party will appear at the Academy in a grand bill, introducing a variety of sensational features, such as rifle practice, a prairie fire, etc. The following is from the Philadelphia Press:

Long before the rise of the curtain every seat, yes, and every available space of standing room was occupied; all anxious and watching eagerly, for the play to commence, and when the popular Scout Buffalo Bill did appear, such an outburst of enthusiasm is seldom heard in any theatre. The drama produced "Knight of the Plains," is far ahead of anything Mr. Cody has heretofore presented and he is ably supported by a first-class company; each one seeming peculiarly adapted to the part assigned them.
