BUFFALO BILL THURSDAY NIGHT

Of course no one will fail to see the Buffalo Bill entertainment in the Opera House on Thursday night. It will be one of the most thrilling of the season, and be something to be remembered for years. The manager of the company, in his greeting to the public announces:

The ever flattering reception that has been accorded the [libon?]. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), on his Dramatic Tours in the East, together with the talented support he has always been fortunate in presenting, [inclines?] to a belief that the present visit, with the usual attractions offered, will meet with a like generous welcome at your hands.

We submit to your kind approbation a Play which will bear the closest scrutiny, that most exacting critics, after careful discretion, have decided faultless. Sensational, startling, intensely interesting, yet devoid of the usual trashy effects, of red fire, gunpowder, &[o.,?] &[e.,?] that generally characterizes the major part of "Border Dramas." And [doably?] effective from the fact that It is founded on truthful incidents, mainly dealing with the atrocious "Mountain Meadow Massacre," or the "Morman Danites," in which the hero (Buffalo Bill) bore a conspicuous part.

The author, Major A. S. Burt, whose access to sources of information could only be had by actual experience, is well versed with the subject he depicts. He has woven the circumstances faithfully together, and arrived at conclusions which an unbiased judgment must necessarily draw, having served most of his life on the plains, and together with Cody has encountered the wild beasts, banditti, outlaws, road agents, &e[.,?] that infest the wild frontier, together with the hostile savage, whose habits and customs have for centuries furnished a fruitful theme for historian, poet, and novelist.
