BUFFALO BILL.
This evening Buffalo Bill and his company will be at Music Hall. Of the wonders of the performance in Hartford last evening, the Courant says:
The princpal play of the evening introduced such characters as Brigham Young and John D. Lee, and pleasant scenes like the Mountain Meadow massacre. The incidents were both comical and terrific. Altogether the best thing of the evening was the shooting by the Austin Brothers, each in turn with a Stevens rifle exhibiting wonderful markmanship. The shots included the shooting of potatoes held in the hand and poised upon the head; the snuffing of a candle, and the extinguishing of a lighted cigar held in the mouth, besides other severe and apparently hazardous tests, altogether surpassing the remarkable fiction concerning William Tell. The entertainment as a whole is of such a character that it will probably draw large audiences in most places.
The play to be presented this evening, while highly sensational, is not of the "blood and murder" style, and gives Mr. Cody an opportunity to display his talents in "parlor drama."

Hon. Wm. F. Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill, called upon us to-day. He says he had a larger audience in New Haven Saturday night then ever before. Of his performance there the Palladium says:
"Buffalo Bill and his company had Saturday evening one of the largest audiences ever seen in Music Hall. While the new play - which exhibits in cheerful profusion such characters as Brigham Young, John D. Lee, and such scenes as the Mountain Meadow massacre - was pleasing to many in the house, the best thing on the programme was the wonderful marksmanship of the Austin brothers, who endangered each other's live with refereshing coolness."
The same play will be given at the Opera House this evening, and will probably be well patronized. The opportunity to see this famous Border Hero is quite sufficient to gather a good audience independent of all other attractions.
