JOHN HILL, a member of the Convention from Stokes County. MR. HILL was in his usual health of Friday, and in his seat in the Convention but on Friday night, while in his room conversing with some friends, he was suddenly atricken with apoplexy, or disease of the heart, and died in a few minutes. MR. HILL had served the people of the Stokes district in Congress, and had frequently represented his county in the Legislature. He was for several sessions Principal Clerk of the Senate. He was elected to the Convention in February without opposition, and also to the present Convention, without opposition. He was a useful citizen, a kind-hearted neighbor, and an honest man.
