BUFFALO BILL LAST NIGHT.

"The Parairie Waif" was presented by the
Buffalo Bill combination, last night, to a
large audience, and gave very general satisfaction.
The plot turns upon the abduction
of a young girl (Onita) by the Danite
and her rescue by Buffalo Bill, who kills
her abductors, restores her to her loving
father, marries her- and they live happily
ever afterwards. There is a comic Dutchman
who sings and dances, a bright little
woman to whom the aforesaid Dutchman
makes love, and who sings and dances,
also a highly trained donkey, and a company
of Indians, who dance and howl and
flourish knives and tomahawks in an unpleasantly
devilish manner. The Prairie
Waifs well played by Miss Lizzie Fletcher
looks the part to perfection, and acts with
intelligence and vivacity. Nobody could
play the part of Buffalo Bill better than
Buffalo Bill himself, who makes a very
handsome stage picture and does his love
making with the modesty and his fighting
with the gallantry and dash of hero. His
rifle shoting feats displayed the extraordinary
skill for which he is famous, and the
precision of his aim from all sorts of difficult
positions elected the applause of the
audience. The entertainment was interesting
throughout, and Buffalo Bill and his
company added many friends to the long
list of those the handsome scout had already
gained for himself in Easton.
