 We extract the following obituary of
 Mrs. Greeley from the Tribune: ....ii.z-.sa Mrs. Mary Y. c. Greeley, wife of Hor- ace Greeley, died in this city, yesterday
 morning, after 8 lingering and painful ih- l ness of several years duration. Mrs. Gree ley's maiden name was Mary Young Che
 ney. She was born and educated at Litch- 1 field, Connecticut. In. her youthful ma l turity she came to this city, and here es- 1 Aol &,n 1Ss111na&Inr of
 young ladies, which she conducted suc- cessfully for a considerable time. She subsequently established similar insti. I tuition at Warrenton, N. C., which was only discontinued upon her marriage
 with Mr. Greeley, on the 9th of July,
 1836.s "aF ii@le I.". asztss tslr.s@-}eE- ;
 Mrs. Greeley was a lady of culture, of l very quick perceptions, and of remarkable
 Intellectual, logical power, who took & ! lively interest in all movements for social j advancement, aud more especially in meas l ures for the .meiioration of the condition l of her own sex. She was a person of de- 1 termined will, capable of great endurance
 Tn behalf of those she loved, and was a
 most devoted mother She had been a
 confirmed invalid (from disease of the l lungs complicated with nervous disordars) ] for something more than seven years, du-' ring most of which time she had been a great but patient sufferer In searchiof restored health she had several times visit
 ed Europe and the tropics, but without | avail iii sHsslt ss.i+ ssts'5s SA's t1.i aaS
 A few weeks before her death she was 1 removed to the residence of MT. A. J.
 Johnson. in this city. in order that she l might obtain medical and other attention, not attainable at the country house in
 Chappaqua. During the past month her l sufferings have been much of the time very 1 acute, and have been borne with calm res- 1 ignation.. Since her disease assumed 8 :. critical stage, almost immediately on his
 return from the West, Mir. Greeley has
 been constantly in attendance upon his suffering. wife, or with her physician, Dr. Bayard. Shortly before the final mo- l ment, Mrs. Greeley seems to have been | relieved from her intense suffering, and to
 have passed to her last rest as one sinking into gentle and peaceful sleep. s4Ae'..a JtaaIn addition to her bereavedi husband,
 she leaves two daughters to mourn her l loss-the only survivors of @ family of five children. 99 q As -ssekfs sstsiFts1s's '
