OBITUARY.

Died, in Upper Marlboro. on Sunday evening,
the 18th of August, MARY ANNE E., wife of
GEORGE w. WILSON, Esq, Editor of the Marlbo-
ro' Gazette Gagged So years, after lingering
illness.
The .4dvocate pays the following just tribute
s'The death of this estimable lady, although fore
told by long continuance of ill-health, has been
a source of the most unfeigned sorrow in the COM
munty, and the occasion of heartfelt regret on
the part of those who knew her virtues and ap-
preciated her worth. Admirably consistent in all
the relations of life, discharging her duties to-
wards all with sincerity and meekness rarely
seen, devoted Christian and example to her
sex, she has left a void which may be truly la
mented. Her last end was that Of the righteous,
sustained by genuine religion and sancti6ed by
the ceremonies of her faith; and to those whose
part it is to MOURN she has left the rich legacy of
her Christian character and the assurance of her
translation to the abode of the just, made per-
fect.'''
