The gainesville Telegraph says: a
few days since, We visited the Mormon
Temple, in Kirkland, which we found to
be in a much better state of preservation
than we had anticipated. This huge and
once elegant structure, so famous in the
Of Mormonism, is now the pro-
perty of a wealthy Mormon residing in
Chicago, having, as we learn, been sold,
with the land on which it stands, at
sherifs sale, for the mere nominal price of
$50. Some 81, 500 has been expended in
repairs; so that the building, although
despoiled Of its original elegance, still pre-
sents a very ~creditable appearance, and
may be made to endure, a monument of
mistaken zeal of its founders, for many
years to come. The houses once owned
and occupied by Joseph Smith and Sidney
Rigdon respectively, are still standing in
the neighborhood, as are also some other
buildings, whose associations are more or
less memorable. But few of the faithful,
however, remain, the most prominent be-
ing the venerable Martin Harris.
