Is it a comet?

--A gentleman mentioned to us this morning the fact that last night about nine o'clock, the weather being somewhat cloudy, with occasional lightning, he saw in a break between the clouds, somewhat West of North, and near the horizon, a broad and steady Inminous streak, and as the sky further cleared, he plainly saw a head or nucleus, looking like a large red star. We mention this to direct attention.--Wilmington Journal, 1st.
