Buffalo Bill.

Buffalo Bill, with his "Dutchman," will be here on the 12th--next Saturday evening--and both amuse and delight a big audience. We say big audience because William never fails to draw large crowds. From the Buffalo Express we take this:

Buffalo Bill's Dutchman and the Prairie Waif Combination opnend a three nights' engagement at the theatre last evening in the sensational border play, "The Prairie Waif." The audience filled every seat, and was as enthusiastic an audience as could be desired. The play is the same that Mr. Cody gave on his last visit to Buffalo, but it has been judiciously revised and re-written until it is as good as new. It is, of course, a story of the far West, and gives the hero ample opportunity for the display of his peculiar accomplishments. In the second act he gives an exhibition of fancy rifle shooting which is very interesting. The plot of "The Prairie Waif" is connected and more interesting than the usual run of border dramas. The Indians with the company are genuine Indians, and their songs and dances are at least novel.
