Sedgwick, Jan. 18, Mrs. Mary ROBERTS, wife of Amaziah Roberts, age about 78 years. Mrs. Roberts has left an aging husband, and a numerous family of children to lament her sudden departure. Although she never made an open profession of religion, yet she had cherished a hope of salvation for many years and once was received by an evangelical church as a suitable candidate for baptism. She always manifested her attachments to the cause of truth and holiness by her attendance at the public worship of God and her interest in the sick and afflicted around her and seemed to regret in her last hour that she had neglected to unite with some Christian church, but now it was too late. But from the fruits of religion uniformly developed in her life and conversation, we cannot doubt that she is now happy with her God in heaven.
