-- Buffalo Bill (Hon. W. F. Cody) and his company had a fair audience at the opera house last night. The play was "Prairie Waif," and it was presented in a creditable manner, with good scenery and accessories. It is the usual dime novel story. "Prairie Waif" is the heroine; Buffalo Bill is the hero; and the Mormons are the villains who abduct the girl. The sensational character of the play, with its fights and Indian dances drew liberal applause from the galleries. In the second act Mr. Cody gave an exhibition of fancy rifle shooting which showed skill and accuracy, and in the fourth act a band of Indians gave an exhibition of their songs and dances.
