BUFFALO BILL.

Durley Hall, last evening, contained one of the largest audiences of the season to witness the performance of Buffalo Bill and his splendid company, who appeared in "The Prarie Waif," or "A Story of the Far West," which in many respects was one of the best dramas of border life ever presented upon a Bloomington stage. Buffalo Bill was the principal attraction of the evening, and the character which the famous scout sustained gave the audience an insight of life upon the Western plains, and his acting was natural as well as original, a strong improvement being noticed since his last appearance in Bloomington. Mr. Cody was well supported. Onita, the little prairie flower, was represented by Miss Lizzie Fletcher, who won the admiration of the entire audience for her splendid acting.
