ARRIVAL OF A PIONEER.

A pioneer of Scott county arrived in town today - just a day too late for the old settlers festival. Had he attended it, every person present would have given William Cody a joyful greeting, because, if the old pioneers could not remember him, they all recollect his father, Squire Cody. The Son has reflected honor on his native county - been an influential member of the Nebraska Legislature, and rendered his name famous throughout the nation and across the seas through his services in protecting settlers of the far west from Indians, and daring deads as the government about, Buffalo Bill.

Tonight he and his company appear at the opera's house in a drama which illustrates Buffalo Bill's career on the plains - a play which has given pleasure to great audiences wherever announced. It is comedy, traged, farce, is life on the plains years ago was cry apt to be - and while Buffalo Bill has the leaning pole, his support is excellent - and among the stage people are the Pawnees, to any nothing of the learned jackass. The "Prairie Waif" is a notable drama already.

The company's band and some of the Indians, with Buffalo Bill made a street parade this forenoon.
