BUFFALO BILL.

Buffalo Bill, together with his Indians, mule, etc., appeared at the Opera-house last evening. His play, "Twenty Days, or Buffalo Bill's Pledge," is, of course, one of those pieces in which all his enemies are either shot or hung. The company is but a fair one, and the only really enjoyable feature of the performance was the singing and acting of Miss Sallie Adams. The band of Indians which appeared on the state are no doubt genuine, but that is all that can be said of them, and "their wild and wierd songs and realistic war dances" would not frighted a boy ten years old. Their song consisted of a few jumps forward and backwards on the stage, in which they keep time to the beating on a old tamborine. The performance seemed to please most of those who attended, however, and no doubt many of the boys present went home last night and dreamed of killing western outlaws by the dozens just as Buffalo Bill did in his play last evening. The band which accompanies the company is a good one, and the cornet solo by Mr. Frank Thompson, between the first and second acts, was well rendered, and many of the audience were sorry that he was prevented from making it longer by repeated signals from the stage manager, that everything was in readiness to raise the curtain.
