Buffalo Bill.

Another crowded house at the theatre last night attests the popularity of Buffalo Bill as a delineator of the western scout and guide. At each visit to this city the character of the [piers?] as presenting frontier life undergoes improvement, and now the combination is one that gives, better than ever before, scenes upon the plains. By omitting promiscuous Indians, retaining only two or three veritable ones introducing an Irishman for the fun, substituting tableaux for indiscriminate firing of guns and pistols, a near approach to the genuine thing is given. The Austin brothers gave an exhibition of their accurate marksmanship, using the Frank Wesson rifle, and one of the characters showed what it is possible to do with the mule whip, with which he kept the nervous ones in anything but a happy condition by the rapidity of the cracks, loud as musket reports, he discharged over the heads. The efforts of the company were received with vociferous applause, and such a yell of welcome as went up for Buffalo Bill has not been very recently heard here.
