BUFFALO BILL COMBINATION-The new play presented by the Buffalo Bill Combination at the Opera House, last night, is nothing if not sensational - as a sensational play it is immense, and evokes tremendous enthusiasm, as well as drawing big houses, as was apparent last evening, "May Cody," admired by Bishop Lee, is captured by the Mormoa Danites, and her rescue is attended by the most hair breadth escapes, the death and resurrection of her defendersm, and the triumph of the right at last. Besides his acting - and "Buffalo Bill" has really become a good actor - Mr. Cody gave a magnificent exhibition of shooting, by snufflog out a candle held in a man's hand, putting out a cigar he was smoking, and shot a potato off the head of the other man of Hay nerve. Then Darby McCune's donkey was an attraction and seemed quite familiar with the stage, more so even than the representative of the late Prophet Forrester, was good, and the play as awhile entertaining, to the extent of enthusiasm. The reception of Buffalo Bill assumed the form of an ovation, and he is ever assured of hearty welcome in Springfield.

THE FOOTLIGHTS.
At the Opera house gathering Saturday evening there was a large and enthusiastic audience to witness the production of the sensational drama "May Cody," as produced by the Buffalo Bill combination. THe drama itself was thrilling in parts and threaded by quite an interesting plot. Incidental to the play was the introduction of the Austin Bros., who made some of the most remarkable short range shots over witnessed, including one in which the rifle was placed upside down and fired backwards, cleaving an apple held in the other's hand. A trick mule also served to greatly amuse the audience. The company proved a strong one and the scenic effects and appointments were fine.
