description Of The public buildings ofnauvoo:
The temple stands in most prominent position
on the bluff which overlooks the lower town
and river, and such is the elevation ofits spire,
that it is distinctly visible from distance of
twenty or thirty miles in various directions.
View ed from the bank of the river, its whole
appearance is grand and imposing. The ma
terial of which it is chiefly bnilt is white lime
stone, which has been worked and faced down
to a perfect surface. Its dimensions, as far
as we can recollect, are as follows:
Length l26 feet; width So feet; height to
comb of roof II feet from the ground TO the
top ofspire 40 feet The upper windows of
the steeple serves as an observatory, from
which magnificent view of the surrounding
country may be had. The Mississippi is seen
winding its serpentine form along the wooded
valley 10 the North and South the hills OF
Iowa rise in bold relief to the Westward, and
lose themselves in the blue distance; while
the praries, fields, gardens and private bull
dings lie spread out like map below. The
walls OF the temple are of massive stone, and
at least two feet thick. On either side, and
at the end, are rows of graceful pilasters,

New HAMpsHIRE. The Legislature of
New Hampshire met at Concord, yesterday.
The House was called to order by the clerk
of last year. Mr.. Sawyer of Dover. Wing,
was chosen chairman, prOtcm., after which,
John p. Hale Of Dover WIS chosen Speaker
by a vote of l39. against Is for Mr.. Swazey,
the Dem. candidate, and one Democratic
and two Independent scattering votes. The
last were for Mr.. Fosg of Gilmanton. Thorn
as J. Harris of Claremont, Wing. was chosen

In the Senate there were present Messrs.

Pal;en and Hibhard, Of Nos. 5, 8, aud 70
Democrats. Ne quorum had been chosen by
the people, and the Democratic Senator from
No. 10 was absent on account OF sickness.
The two Houses went into convention TO
Gil the vacancies in the Senate, and four
Wing Senators were elected by from ten TO
twenty majority, viz: James U. Parker, for
No. 3; William w. Rollins, for No 5; Arte-
mas Harmon, for No. 6, and Timothy Abbott.
for No. 7.
The convention then dissolved, and the
House adjourned TO meet again at 3, 7. M.

sen, when the two other vacancies from No.
9 and No. l l, would be filled in convention.
But two members of the House were alb
sent upon ballo,ing for Speaker. The Wings

DREADFUL TORNADO AND DES-
TRUCTION OF LIFE AND PROPER
nv

The town of Grenada, Miss, has been al
most swept away by terrible tornado, and
with it the lives of many valuable citizens.
1t occurred about three O'Clock on Thursday,
the 9TH inst. We find the following mean-
choly particulars in slip on the 9Th at the
Grenada Chronicle office:
The tornado entered Grenada in the wes-
tern part, and first in its sweep over the town
took the house of Gen. T. N. Waul, occupied
by Mr. Eubanks of Mr.. Samuel King, occu-
pied by Daniel Robinson, esq, and that OF
Gen. T. N. Waul, occupied by Dr. Robert
F. Purnell. In the destruction oil these
houses two white persons were hurried to
eternity, viz Mr. Robinson and Mrs. Robin
son. la the death Of these persons, our mend
and fellow townsman, Daniel Robinson, esq,
lost a father and devoted wife.
Several of his children were also wounded !;
there we're also three negroes killed. ihe
property of DIR. Purnell. A Mr.. Eubanks
was also killed, and his child is lying MORALLY
wounded. The hurricane took off the roof
of the house of James Sims, and injured
some of his family, though fortunately occa-
stoned no deaths.
1t then passed on through the southern
part OF the town and laid low the house
wherein Mrs. Plummer lived. killed that lady
aud number of her students; it also swept
away the houses of our fellow t ownsmen.
Peter Cause, James M. Baughn, DIR. J. Sni-
der, E. S. Land, Mr.. Foster, T. J. Dellahite,
Sept. Caldwell, Mrs. Jones, l.. d. Butler,
and several others, which we do not now rec
collect together with the Baptist church and
the Grenada Male Academy.
1t also in ured more or less, the houses
occupied by DIR Edmonds. Ell. Mitchell, I.
NJ Olive, and DR.. Tarpley. Our friend. Dan
iel Robinson, not only lost his wife and faith
err. but considerable sum of money which
has been blown off in the wind and has not
been found.
Amid a great confusion, the groans Of the
dying and the woful and heart-rending lem
entations Of the living, the storm left Us to
pursue its march of devastation through the
country.
An equally ruinous and dreadful storm ithas
never been our sad misfortune to witness, or
our painful duty to relate. At the thought
OF it. past though it be, the danger even rises
in our mind, the cold sweat gushes from our
brow, and a mental prayer of thanks, true,
real, heartfelt thanks to our God, fills our
bosom TO bursting.
