Buffalo Bill at the Howard.

The Howard was filled to its utmost capacity last evening to witnees Buffalo Bill's mammorht combination. The melo-drama was preceded by the farce entitled "Turn Him Out," in which Mr. Beverly proved himself a capital Nicodemus Nobbs, and Miss Nellie Jones an acceptable Susan. The melo-drama entitled "Knight of the Plains; of, Buffalo Bill's Best Trail," succeeded. The first act of the drama opened with a well-set and picturesque scene, a sunset on the prarie, with Red Eagle, a live Indian, on the watch. This scene abounded in thrilling situations, while the rifle shooting of Buffalo Bill is really marvellous, and received the applause which is due to a good marksman. The horses which appear upon the stage and the trick mule break the monotony of usual dramas. Every tablean received an encore, and the curtain was rung up several times. Buffalo Bill, of course, carried off the honors of the evening. Miss Denier and Jones, as Wild Nellie and Rose Melton, sustained their parts in an acceptable manner, and Beverly and Willard kept the house in a roar as the Judge and Moses. The Indian war-dance was a feature, and received a double encore. In conclusion, the drama is a strong one of the kind, and cannot fail to be attractive to all who wish to see life in the far west well depicted.

The rifle shooting of Buffalo Bill was extraordinary and excited the wildest enthusiasm. The company go hence to Charleston.
