BUFFALO BILL.-Owing to other business engaging our attention yesterday, we regret to say that we omitted to notice the performance of the Buffalo Bill Combination in the Music Hall, on Tuesday evening. It appeared to be the unanious opinion of those present that a more moral and interesting entertainment was never given in Port Hope. Mr. Cody took, of course, the leading charcter, and he was supported by an admirable company. The orchestral music was also good. There was a tolerably large audience in attendance, but no doubt a great many were kept at home through the disagreeable state of the weather.

Buffalo Bill's Troupe.
The celebrated scout and Indian fighter, "Buffalo Bill," arrived on the noon train and is registered at the Caisse house. The excellent brass band belonging to the company, and his Cheyenne Indians dressed in their aboriginal costume paraded through the streets this afternoon, before a large concourse of people. They perform in Bradburn's Hall this evening the stirring border drama, "The Prairie Waif." Incidental to the play are war dances by the Indians, rifle shooting by "Buffalo Bill," and other features entirely new to a Peterborough audience. Referring to the play itself the Mail says:
"The Buffalo Bill combination appeared last night at this theatre in the play of the "Prairie Waif." There was a large audience. The "Prairie Waif" is a capital border drama, abounding both in humorous situations and sentimental incidents. The plot turns upon the capture of a girl by the Indians, her rescue, and her subsequent love episodes with her deliverer. Mr. Cody, as Buffalo Bill, was naturally the principal attraction, and acted with all his accustomed vigour and ability. Jules Keen as Hans, was particularly good, while Miss Fletcher, as Onita exhibits some good acting in the emotional scenes."
