Buffalo Bill's Dutchman.

Buffalo Bill will be here on the 12th.
The Rochester Herald says:

The "Prairie Waif" gave the gallery
gods a picnic at the Grand Opera House
last night, and greatly delighted the mixed
audience occupying the chairs downstairs.
There are enough sanguinary encounters,
to draw large audiences and make the boys
in the gallery yearn for a life on the plains,
where they could kill an Indian before
breakfast and half a dozen after dinner.
Every time Buffalo Bill arrived on the
scene in time to save the life of "the waif"
--which he managed to do several times
during the play--there were thunders of
applause down stairs and wild shrieks of
delight from the gallery, and the admirers
of the famous fighter were only sorry that
he did not slay with his trusty rifle more
of her enemies than he did.
