Buffalo Bill, with a fine brass band and the troupe of Indians, made a good appearance in the street parade this forenoon.
Perhaps some one understood that there were three drunks and one lodger at the City Hotel last evening. For the City Hotel in one corner of the City Hall building we always use the lower case. No one ought to suppose that we meant the well-known house called the City Hotel.
The 2:10 train from Lawrence was fifty minutes late this afternoon owing to an accident to an engine on the Boston and Main Railroad.

The Prairie Waif.

The "Buffalo Bill" Dramatic Combination, who appear here this evening, are spojen of as follows by the Milwuakee Chronicle: --- "This troupe is one of the most popular traveling, and the play one of the best border dramas ever placed upon the stage. It is different from those presented here before by the same company from the absence of vulgar expressions in it. The plot is simple, yet very instructuve interesting, and laughable. Onita, a pretty little prairie flower, is captured by the redskins and Mormons, and after ten years' time is discovered by Buffalo Bill, rescued and taken back to her father, after thrilling skirmishes and desperate encounters. Buffalo Bill, of course, is the central figure, and deservedly obtained the applause of the large audience present. His sharp-shooting was excellent, and his acting vigorous and natural. Some of the points he made last night were very effective and artistic and it is but just to say that he has wonderfully improved as an actor, and is now the campion frontier character of the stage. Mark Stanley, and also Jim and Jack Hardy were well represented. Hans, Old Dutch personified, " takes the cake." This character is depicted by Jule Keene who is one of the best Dutch comedians in this country, and provoked continual merriment throughout. Onita, the flower of the occasion, was represented by Miss Lizzie Fletcher, who won the respect and admiration of the entire audience, and is a first-class acctress."
