The ladies connected with the Temple of Israel, in this city, gave their pastor, Rev. Dr. Mendelssohn, and family a surprise or "pound" party last night which they made more agreeable by the presentation of a pretty full line of grcceries and a purse containing a snug little sum of money. Our itformant was of the male persuasion, and of course the ladies would not tell him bow much the purse contained. It was an agreeable surprise and a - very pleasant party, and there was a plenty of food, innocent amusement. Later In the evening several gentlemen joined the party and participated in the pleasures of the occasion, j 1 If you need a real good first class cooking stove, don't fail to see tho Ex celsior Tcnn: Zeb.

For several nights past, the comet which the astronomers have been speaking of has been seen with the caked eye. It ia in the Southeastern heavens, and it docs not require a very careful scrutiny of "the v heavens to delect it. ThU comet is by uo means as brilliant as ihoopc seen last winter. Its tail is very faint and short, but it is a comet alt the same, and we merely advertise tho fact of its existence for the benefit of such of our readers as delight 4 lo i?azc at the heavenly -wonders. The Artful Dodger. There has recently developed a new plan of rascality amoug some of the colored boys which hns become an expensive nuisance to the safferers. Whenever they sec a cart or dray load ed with peanuts going down Princess street, one ot the scamps will run up and slash a big hole in one of the bags. Tho joltings of the cart over the pave ments open the bags, and by the time the team gets half way down the hill toward Water streets, there is quite a stream of peanuts ponring out into the streets i which the colored boys gather up in a hurry. This has been done on several occasions recently. Twelfth Nifflit. On Wednesday night, Janury 30th the world-famed actress, Helena Mbdjeska (Countes3 Bozenta) will ap pear for one night ouly it ftho Opera House. This consummate actress and titled lady has acted over a greater ex tent ol territory, ami appeared in drama in more languages than- any living actress. She is a beautiful woman, an accomplished arlisto and refined lady, aud her advent everywhere has always proven an event of importance in upper society circles. Modjeska is one of the two great actresses of the world, the other being Sarah Bernhardt. Of late, however, some of our ablest citizens have inclined even to rale the Polish historieune superior to the great genius of the French stage. The play is an unusually strong one. and will present the actress in one ol her most celebra tsd roles. Soured on the Goose. A young, well fattened goose makes excellent food, and by a good many it is considered superior to turkey ; but an old cooso is liable to be tough, and an old gander is about the toughest subject ever cooked. We have heard many tales about tough old gander, but one of the best we have heard lately is a3 fol lows: One of our promiucnt business men had a jrooao sent to his house, where it was duly and nicely baked for dinner. It proved to be a tough one, but the lamily went at it in order to make a meal. A liberal slice was given to a little son w'ho put a piece in his mouth and began to chew, aud con tinucd till his jaws ached aud"hc :ot tired aud sleepy, when he leaned over iu his chair aud closed his eyes for a uap with his mouth full of gander. Just as he was droppiug oil to sleep, he was thoughtful of consequences aud said: "Mamma, please wakarae,whcn it's time to swallow." Painful Accident. At about noon yesterday Mr. Walker Taylor, son of Col. Johu P. Taylor. while out iruuuiiig with a party of friends at Topsail Sound, had the mis fortune to get shot in' the hands and face, receiving severe and paintul wounds, though not cousidered danger ous. ' The circumstances attending the accident, as we learn them, 'are about as follows: Mr. Taylor, with his com panions, was out in an old field gun ning for birds, and he was upon one side of a small poud while some of his friends were on the opposite side. While in these relative positions a fiock of birds flew up and one of the party on the opposite side. shot at them. not knowing that Mr. Taylor was in his line of fire. Tho charge t struck the latter in the bands and face, one shot striking the eye. Fortunately they were small bird shot or tho result would undoubtedly have been fatal. Mr. Taylor was at once brought to the city where ho received prompt surgical at- tention. He was quite comfortable mis morning. Tbo shot iu the eye has not deprived him of sight, and the attending physician is ot the opinion that, unless serious inflammation takes place, his vision will not bo affected. The Burlington Jlatckeye publishes a most ludicrous sketch about the great toughness ot the invincible mule. Mr. W. II. Sturtevant. of Heir Yorlc now- ever. knows a stiff, lame . mule, whose toughness yielded to the' penetrating force of St. Jacobs Oil, completely restoring the flexibility of every muscle, and the powerful playfulness ot the rear nU, t, Ifoot. s ' ' ' ; . v..."... - . - - I The Gale Today. It has been blowing a gale of wind nearly all day. tho maximum velocity having reached" 28' miles' per hour. During the day a lighter while coming up the river was capsized when a tew mi es below the city. We were unable to learn her name, but the impression among river men was that it was the fpray. It was not known whether auy lives were lost by the aeciden or not, but if there were more than two men on board some were lost as "Only two were Keen to get - off the wreck.

The play was well mounted and the eeenerv was elaborate and ex cellent. The play was composed of first rale material, and all were good in their respective roles. The two Han lons, as John and Boby the model ser vants, were inimitable and kept the house in a tumult ol laughter as they played thoir grotesque tricks upon their fellow travelers. Taken altogether it was a spl6ndid entertainment, and was worthy a crowded house. Personal, j We are very glad to learn that the condition of Rev. Mr. Morrelle, who wa3 so unfortunate as to fall and break one of the bones of his leg week: before last, has improved very much and we hope to hear soon of his entire recovery, lie is receiving every care and attention that loving hearts and willing hands can pay. j Wo acknowledge the pleasure of a call this morning from Mr. Hazel W, Burgwin, formerly of this section but since the close of the war a resident o Virginia. It has been fourteen years since Mr. Burgwin was last in Wil mington. . We arc sorry to hear that Mr.H.McL. Green is sick not seriously, , but sick enough to confine him to the house. Mr. Henry Bcrger, business agent for Madame Modjeska, is in the city making the necessary preparations for the appearance of that distinguished actress and her company, which will be on Wednesday night, the 30th inst. 'Stonewall Jackson. Editor Review r It would seem to mcthat Mr Capps'has been misappre hended iu-regard to the time ot the wounding, of General "Stonewall" JacksJifUii I Mr.. Capps did uotsay, but simply suggested, as I undcrsldoiiilflm, that it occurred before sundown. He labors nnderthis impression from the fact that au officer came to him while it was yet, day and requested him to go with his ambulance to bring off 'a "wounded officer." saying the order came from General JacksoB. - He went and louad Gen. Jackson. after nightfall, wounded. He inferred from the. failure ot the ofiicer who came for him to give the name of the wound ed officer, and the secrecy enjoined as io tbo wounding of. Gen. Jackson, tnat tne Wonnded officer alluded 1 to was Gen. Jackso:fc - w' And as the order came before night fall, he very naturally inferred that General Jackson was wounded in the daytime. It is an established fact that Mr. Capps brought him off the field and : is equally well authenticated that General Jackson was wounded after nightfall and by the gallant 18th North Carolina, to which no blame can possibly be aU tached. " $- ' ! "; In the lapse fof timc.r apd trusting simply lo memory, it xuay. be possible that Mr. Capps errs as to the time he received the order bnt admitting he does not, his inference is legitimate.
