DESTRUCTION OF BARNUM's MUSEUM.

DESTRUCTION OF BARNUM 5 MUSEUM.
The year closes disastrousy with respect to
fires. The elegant structure, known as Bar
nuns Museum, at the southeast corner OF Chest
nut and Seventh streets, Phadeip iphia, was on
Tuesday evening entirely destroyed by fire. 1t
broke out about five o'clock in the afternoon, in
the upper part of the Museum, which was de-
voted to theatrical exhibitions.
The flames spread rapidly through the upper
portion of the establishment, and scarcely had
the alarm been sounded by the State-House bell,
than they were observed issuing from the venti-
lator in the roof. The fremen were very early
at the scene Of the confagration, but owing to
the fire originating in the lecture room, which
was on the third floor, their efforts to save il
were at once known to be unavalling. In very
short space Of time the fourth and fifth stories
were on fire throughout, and soon after the
upper portion was enYeloped IN a sheet Of flame
pouring, as ii did, from all the windows and
aperturss in the roof, the scene was one of ter
rife grandeur Downwards the fire spread
quite fast and in half an hour it reached the
Museum, the second floor, which contained
q large collection of curosities, probably one
of the best in the country, stuffed animals,
birds and paintings-a large portion of the re-
mains of what was once known as Peale's Mu-
scum. These were mostly Of a combustlble
character. The stores the first floor, were
occupied by G.. II. Henderson d CO., booksel-
IefS Lee N walker ana LG"aTU l.. w dlkeF,
music dealers and publishers. The principal
contents of these stores were saved The ef-
forts of the iremen were principally directed TO
the surrounding properties, which, of course,
were in imminent danger of destruction,
The dwelling adjoining, east, owned and oc-
cupied by J. Francis Fisher, was on fire at one
time; his loss in furniture, by water, (Which
was thrown on his house copiously, to prevent
the spread of the fire. is estimated at $4,000.
I There was a small insurance on the house, but
none on the furniture. The Columbia House,
opposite, was twice on fire, but the destructive
element was promptly quenched The Messrs.
Ferguson suppose their loss will reach $500
insured.
The Museum building was valued at 100000,
on which there is an insurance of $4,000, divid-
ed among several Offices The loss of Mr.
I SPoOner, the proprietor of the Museum, is
about $50, 0,000-iusured for 900 The Mar
tinetti Family lose all their properties and para
/ phernalia, which falls heavily upon them, and
i nearly every person connected with the estab-
/ lishment loses more or less.
