BUFFALO BILL.
The renouned scout whose deeds have been celebrated by Neil Buntline, and whose actual achievements are fully as startling as those of the dime novel hero, appears at the Opera House next Saturday evening in the "Prarie Waif," a play written expressly for him and which abounds in thrilling incidents of border life. Buffalo Bill is accompanied by a troupe of real Indians for stage killing purposes, and they will be successively slaughtered in the most approved frontier style.

Buffalo Bill and his company held the Opera House boards on Saturday evening and had a good house, the galleries being especially well packed. "The Prarie Waif," is a dramatization of some gifted dime novelist and is written for displaying startling scenes and plenty of villainy and blood. Buffalo Bill is of course the hero, and rescues the lovely maiden in the first act and marries her in the last, filling in the time between with the pleasant diversion of killing Indians and Mormon assassins. Some novelties introduced added interest to the play, such as wonderful rifle shooting by Buffalo Bill, real Winnebago Indians, who gave some of their symbolic dances. The performance pleased the audience and as virtue was properly rewarded and vice properly punished, the morality of the play was sufficiently demonstrated.

-- Buffalo Bill and some Indian braves in full war paint, paraded the streets on horseback, Saturday afternoon. The scheme secured a full house at the evening performance.
