A correspondent writes US from De-
troit under date of the 18th inst, as fol-
lows:
The great event Of the week was the
arrival here on Thursday afternoon, I'M
accompanied by any aids or orderlies, Of
Major General w. T. Sherman, U. s. A.
His arrival was entirely unexpected by
any one. The General proceeded from
the depot to the Biddle House alone,
with his carpet sack in his hand, and
after registering his name. asked if he
could have room. After the clerk had
given him key to room, he looked on
the register and saw who it was, and
the room was very soon changed for a
much better one. The news spread like
wild-fre that he was in town, and imme-
diately he was waited upon by the May
or, VIII 0 rendered him the hospitalities
Of the city. The same evening he was
serenaded by the band of the 4th U. S.
Infantry, after which he made short
speech to the assembled crowd, and
begged to retire, as he was very much
fatigued after his journey. The next
day he inspected Fort Wayne, and after
ward received the people of Detroit in
the Young Mems Hall, and for two
hours he endured the torments of hand
shaking, after which, with some seventy
or eighty guests, he partook Of a sump-
tuous repast at the Biddle House, and at
five P. NJ, departed for st. Louis, his
headquarters. The General was on bus
mess connected with the Department Of
the Ohio, which is in his command.
Our neighbors in Windsor, Canada,
just across the river, mad quite q scare
the other evening. The freight house of
the Great Western r. R., took fire, and
hearing the rumpus over there, they
thought surely the Fenians were coming.
SO the bells were Tung and the militia
turned out, but after waiting some time
and seeing nothing o. the Fenians they
dispersed, probably some Of them think
ing that the old saying, more scared
than hurt, was very applicable to
them.
Snow fell to the depth OF six or eight
inches last night, and as II is the first
that they have had here Of any account
this winter, the people are enjoying it to
the best of their ability, and the merry
! jinglipg of the sleigh bells put me in
mind of old Vermont. ANON.

A USEFUL HINT TO HoUsEKEEPRRs AND
OTHERs.-An article in late number
of an English magazine, on the subject
of the fracture of polished glass surfaces
says;
at is fact known to the philosophi-
cal instrument makers, that if metal
wire be drawn through glass tube,
few hours afterward the tube will burst
into fragments. The annealed glass
tubes used for the water gauges of steam
boilers are sometimes destroyed in this
way, after the act of forcing a piece Of
cotton waste through with a wire, for
the purpose Of cleaning the bore. This
will not happen if piece of soft wood
is employed. The late Andrew Ross in
formed me that on one occasion, late in
evening, he lightly pushed a piece of
cotton wool through number Of bar
ometer tubes with piece of cane, for
the purpose of clearing out any particles
of dust. The next morning he found
most of the tubes broken up into small
fragments, the hard silicious coating Of
the cane proving as destructive as he
had previously known wire to be"
In these times, when glass lamp-Chim-
neys are in such wide use, it is of no
little Importance that this fact should
be made known. Thousands of persons
who have been in the habit Of using
wires, table forks, and a variety Of me-
tallic articles in the washing of these
chimneys will, in the above stated fact
and the reason of their chimneys so often
swapping to pieces on the lamp.
