--The Buffalo Bill combination arrived in the city this morning, and at once attracted a great deal of attention, on account of the wide-spread popularity and reputation of the great scout and the fact that there were several genuine Indians with the party, in full costume and bedecked with warpaint and ornaments. At 11 o'clock, nothwithstanding the fact that rain was falling a grand street parade was made, which showed up the company to good advantage. No word of ours would be praise for Buffalo Bill. He is to-day the greatest living scout, and the opera house should be packed with people, to witness the presentation of "Prairie Waif," the most beautiful and thrilling piece of the kind ever produced. The press evaerywhere is loud in its praise of the piece and actors.

--The Buffalo Bill combination will play at Janesville to-night.
