Buffalo Bill. Mr. Josh. E. Ogden, business manager of the Buffalo Bill combination, is in the city making arrangements for the appearance of the company at the Opera House, on Monday evening next. Buffalo Bill (Hon. W. F. Cody) is a character on the frontier, who needs no introduction. He has been a government scout among the Indians, an Indian fighter, a legislator, and an actor, and in each capacity has filled well his part. His new play, the " Prairie Waif," written for him by John A. Stevens, The author of "Unknown," is spoken of in terms of the highest praise. An incident of the daring of Mr. Cody may be related in connection with his visit here:
In August, 1868. " Buffalo Bill" rode in twelve hours from Fort Larned to Fort Zarah and back, 65 miles; in the succeeding twelve hours he carried dispatches to General Sheridan from Fort Larned to Fort Hayes, 65 miles. From Fort Hayes he rode in the next 24 hours to Fort Dodge. 95 miles: on the next night he went to Fort Larned, 35 miles on foot and 30 miles on a mule; and again the next night from Fort Larned to Fort Hayes, 65 miles, He made on horses, mules, and afoot 335 miles, and he was in the saddle or afoot 58 hours. These successive rides were made through a rough irregular country, swarming with hostile Indians, where there were no roads and hardly a perceptible trail, which had to be followed in the obscurity of the night. Early in life Buffalo Bill made a continuous ride of 322 miles, making that distance in the incredibly short time of 24 hours, a wonderful feat of human endurance.

--Buffalo Bill gave a very satisfactory entertainment at Opera Hall, Monday night. The scenery was good, the humorous hits and characterizations brought peal after peal of laughter from the house, while Buffalo Bill displayed his life of heroic adventure in a very thrilling manner.
