ACADEMY OF MUSIC--BUFFALO BILL.

One of the most blustering and disagreeable
storms of th ewinter prevailed last
evening, and people arrived at the Academy
covered with clinging snow, but despite this
fact the house was crowded. The audience
was immensely pleased with the play and
forgot all its troubles in the enjoyment of
the "wild romance of the far West," Hon.
W. F. Cody, (Buffalo Bill) appears this time
in a new drama "Prairie Waif," which permits
of "his impersonating three distinct
Western characters. The piece has all the
charm of the dime novel, embodied
in living forms of scouts, Indians, Mormon
Danites and wild animals, and represented
in absorbing reality. Buffalo Bill acts with
the same assumption of indifferent bravery
which characterizes all his stage work. His
exhibitiom of fancy rifle-shooting is very attractive.
The company supporting is adequate
to the paly, and it is given with the
requisite effect. The show will remain the
balance of the week.
