The Shakers of Harvard are building a Barn which is probably larger than any structure of the kind on the continent. The dimensions we are informed are 115 feet in length, and 45 in width. It is four stories in height, and the calculation is to drive in on the upper floors, from the hill side and pitch the hay down, thus rendering much hard labor easy. The cost of the barn, when completed, is estimated at $3000. The Shakers of Canterbury, N. H. have a large barn, but it is excelled by the one at Harvard. [Bunker Hill Aura.]
