   Died, in Hancock co., Ga.: March 7th, JOHN 
VINSON, in the 78th year of his age.  His disease
was typhoid pneumonia.  He professed religion
forty-two or three years ago, and joined the M.E.
Church, of whic he lived an humble and useful
member, filling the office of an exhorter for many
years previous to death.  He lived in an humble sit-
uation, but he was very much esteemed by all that 
knew him.  We often visited him when in health:
his theme was religion: his study was not to ac-
quire wealth, but how to do good.  His pious wi-
dow, three daughters, and two grandchildren are left
alone in his little cottage to mourn the loss of their
earthly protector.                        A FRIEND.
