The Theater.

A house filled to overflowing greeted Buffalo Bill on his appearance last evening, fully twelve hundred people being present. The drama is good and, to judge from the applause it elicited, pleased everybody. The piece is full of the usual blood an thunder accompaniments incidental to a border play and the various startling scenes are mixed with enough of the humorous to mak every one delighted with it. Of the leading character, Buffalo Bill, scarcely too much can be said in his praise, and in his remarkable shooting he is without an equal. Mr. W. J. Bailey as "Montana Mike," Mr. Chas. Krone as "Capt. Mortlake", the victim of treachery, Mr. Chas. Foster as "Abner Weldon," Miss Mary Tucker as "Grace", his daughter, Mr. Jule Keen as "Jacob Broomblebeck" and Miss Sallie Adams as "Miss Pepper", were good in those characters and formed an excellent support for the great scout and guide. The two latter in their musical specialties were loudly applauded and with the great Indian dance helped to fill out an otherwise splendid evening's entertainment.
