The gloomy, rainy weather of yesterday wound up last night with a considerable storm from the northwest, accompanied by consid- erable thunder and lightning, and a drench- ing rain. This morning the weather ischarm ing, a bright mild sun, and a stiff, but balmy northwester, makes one feel ag though they had been suddenly transported into another latitude. We would advise the youths generally tobe cautious how they carry fire-arms about them. We know of one—a very estimable one, too,— who received a ball wound in one of his legs lege, a few nights since, by the premature discharge of a pistol, which accidentally fell from the hand of one of his companions, which may possibly lame him for life We would advise all the readers of the Star who may wish to obtain their winter’s supply of the very best quality fuel, and at, moderate prices, to examine the advertivement of our young friends, Mr. John W. Myers & Co. An individual styling himself one of that very numerous family, ‘‘ John Smitb,’’ and hailing from Mlarpers’ Ferry, entered the dwelling cf Dr Grafton Tyler, which he found open, early yesterday evening ; but being dis- covered one of the family he beat a hasty retreat. From there he went to the dwellin of R P. Dodge, Esq , which he entered, an stole therefrom one of a pair of heavy silver tes. The loss was soon discovered ; and it javing been ascertained that an individual had offered for sale, in the neighborhood, such an article, Officer Silence was put upon his track, and soon succeeded in capturing the thief and recovering the stolen plate. Le was examined this morning before Justice Reaver, who fully committed him to jail. Since our last report the flour and grain markets have been tolerably brisk, with mod- erate sales of each at considerable decline in prices. Flour is held at $6 25 for standard brands. Sales confined chiefly to the home trade. Wheat $1 28u$1 30 for red and white. But little corn offering worth 55058 cents.
