"BUFFALO BILL"
Hon. Buffalo Cody was with us last
night, and shot hard-tack to pieces on the
stage. The [?] boy did honor to the
occasion, and attested his approval of
William's marksmanship in Comanche
yells, which are only to be acquired by
long study of the [pr?] set forth in
yellow back text-books. William has
replaced the number of Indians that
became a sacrifice to patola, having
probably found it expensive to slay more
than two every night but he [pe?]
these three or four times in one act, besides
a half screen Moms who are
slain whenever the play threatens to
grow monotomous.

There is a smell of powder about the
play and blood all through it, while a
nice little love episode is run in to [coun?]
the dire effect of the heavy
villains, of which there is the usual [?].

The house was one of the largest of the season,
and the galleries were packed.
One boy remarked, that the play was not
half as good as it used to be, because
William does not kill as many Indians as
he formerly did.

There is some fine scenery in the play.
The actors are all good, including a Pawnee,
which comes in for a share of the
applause.
