In Utica, on the 25th inst., Mrs. Emily W. MARSH, wife of E. K. MARSH, Esq., of this city.
   In this event there are many features of painful interest. Early in March last, Mrs. M. was suddenly prostrated by a violent attack of epilepsy. She recovered slowly and partially her physical energies, but her reason was completely dethroned. Strong hopes had been entertained that she might be restored to sanity by a removal to the Lunatic Asylum. But while on her way to Utica for this purpose, she had a second attack of the same disease, and was utterly unconscious while life lingered. In this state she was removed to the Franklin Hotel, Utica, where the best medical attendance was secured, but she expired in less than twenty-four hours, and her remains were brought to this city, and yesterday afternoon deposited at Mt. Hope.
   Mrs. MARSH was formerly from Litchfield, Conn. She had resided in Rochester some three or four years, and had attracted a large circle of warm personal friends, who will sympathize with her afflicted partner, in his irrepartable loss. For some time past Mrs. M. had been a worthy member of the Washington st. Church, in this city, and we cannot doubt, that for her "to die has been a gain."  Connecticut papers please copy.

In Buffalo, on the 2d inst., of Pulmonary Consumption, Mrs. Eliza Jane EVANS, wife of O. M. EVANS, and daughter of O. T. FARGO, Esq., of Batavia, aged 30 years.
