"Buffalo Bill" at the Opera House.

As is always the case, "Buffalo Bill" attracted
a large audience to the Opera House
last evening, and the usual amount of enthusiasm
was expressed. Of his play, "The
Prairie Waif," but little can be said, as all
who enjoy the "blood and thunder" drama are
familiar with almost every line of it. The
usual amount of gunpowder and red fire was
burned last night, and the audience appeared
delighted. The chief attractions were "Buffalo
Bill," a live donkey and a still more lively
bat, which was awakened from its slumbers
in the "flues" by the heavy cannonading,
and circled among the audience for several
minutes. The rest of the support was not
good.
