-Buffalo Bill drew a $500 house, last evening, there being few empty seats at Music Hall. The entertainment was sufficiently sensational to charm the most enthusiastic admirer of yellow covered literature, so well illustrated by the brave scalpers, and the country youth for miles about will be eager to "lift your har" for months to come.

Buffalo Bill et als.

Probably no man in the country can inspire a greater degree of enthusiasm among the gamins who delight to shout, stamp and whistle from the upper gallery of a theatre than Buffalo Bill. And yet it requires the liveliest kind of a lively imagination to make head or tail out of the collection of rubbish which was last night presented at the theatre under the title of "The Red Right Hand." Poor as the collection of words is, it answers a purpose, and this purpose is the introduction of Buffalo Bill and Captain Jack, with their handsome rifles and pistols and highly polished knives. Just by way of variety a few Indians are thrown in, who are most accomodating, appearing again and again to be shot down by the blank cartridges of the bold scouts, who face dangers of a most appalling nature as calmly as they pocketed the handsome receipts from last evening's entertainment. Of course there is a maiden or two in the- well, the bills call it a drama, one of whom is sought by an outlaw, and another who is friendly to the "pale faces," and who makes a strong point of the declaration, frequently repeated. "He saved my life, and I will save his." With a trapper or two, an Irishman, a Chinaman, and a half dozen soldiers, the latter of local origin, the situations are such as to give the gamins ample opportunity for freeing their pent-up enthusiasm, although just how they are reached is left to the imagination of the audience.

A laughable sketch, entitled "Sketches in India," was given at the opening of the entertainment, and afforded considerable amusement.
