Died-In this city, on Sunday morning, the 18th ult., after a brief illness, Mrs. MARY A.. WATKINS consort of Hon. Geo. c. Watkins, in the 31st year of her age.
 Mrs. Watkins has gone to the grave in the meridian of life, leaving a devoted husband, five little children, and large circle of affec- tionate relatives and friends. No one could have realized stronger or dearer motives to live, but in happy and prosperous life, she had prepared for death, and the religion of the bible had destroyed the terrors of the, tomb.
 By her death the tenderest cords of many hearts are broken, and many faithful spirits will wear the mantle of sorrow and grief, and ever cherish sweet remembrances of her goodness and truth. X.
