MODEL BARN DESTROYED.

MODEL BARN DESTROYED.
A large barn belonging to John H.
Sherwood of Mill Hill was Totally de-
stroyed by fire, between the hours Of
7 and 8, Sunday evening. The origin
of the fire is still mystery, although
it is generally supposed to have been
caused by spontaneous combustion.
Mr. Sherwood, with members of his
family, was seated on the piazza Of his
house, when they observed smoke creep
ing out of a crevice in the barn. Ac-
companied by his son, he hurried to
the building and found the fire con-
fined to pile of straw, which had been
left on the floor. In his efforts to ex-
tinguish the flames, Mr. Sherwood was
severely burned about the hands.
Meanwhile the fire was making rapid
progress and spreading to the huge hay
mows opposite. Three horses and two
COWS we're rescued from the fire, but a
lot of harness, several wagons and
carts, a sleigh, 80 tons of hay and
loads of rye we're consumed. The barn
was situated on a high hill just south
Of Greenfield, and the blaze could be
plainly seen for miles around, particu-
larly on Long Island Sound, where it
was seen by passengers on the excur-
sion steamers, to whom it afforded a
grand sight. 1t was..a modelstructure,
