Buffalo Bill.

The drama of "May Cody" was played by the Buffalo Bill Company at the Opera House last evening. There is not much "blood and thunder" about it, being somewhat on the "Davy Crockett" plan. The principal attraction, perhaps, is the rifle shooting of Buffalo Bill which is simply wonderful. At thirty paces he shoots a potato with a rifle ball from the head of a lady. He does it afterward with his back turned using a mirror, shooting over his shoulder. He never misses, but we would much rather look on than hold the potato. His skill with the rifle throws the Creedmoor business into the shade. The entertainment seemed to be enjoyed by the audience--there is a large gallery. Buffalo Bill is at Towanda to-night.
