Rev. John Maxson.—The following notice of the death of Rev. John Maxson, appeared in the Newport Gazette of March 5, 1778. Maxson was the fourth pastor of the Seventh Day Baptist Church, in Newport, R. I. His labors as pastor in Newport commenced at an important epoch in the history of the country, and continued through the protracted difficulties with France and Great Britain, the latter of which terminated in the Revolutionary struggle. Mr. Maxson was ordained to the office of elder over the Newport Church, Nov. 24, 1754, which position he filled until his death, which occurred March 2, 1778, at, the age of 65 years.
His funeral discourse was preached by Elder Gardner Thurston, of the 2d Baptist Church of Newport. His remains rest in the old cemetery, near the monument of Com. O. H. Perry H. B. T.

"Last Monday died the Rev'd John Maxson, Minister of the Seventh Day Baptist Church in this Town. In this Person were united all the essential Qualities of a good Christian, and his moral as well as social Character deserve the highest Tiibute of Praise. From the Principles of that Religion which he professed to believe, he was firmly led to stem the Torrent of popular Error and Delusion and happily preserved his Allegiance to his latest moments. The Conduct of many of his Brothers of the Baptist Clergy, in supporting the present unnatural Opposition to Government, filled him with the deepest Concern, not only as being repugnant to the Principles of the Christian Religion, but as having a Tendency to encourage that factious, persecuting and intolerant spirit they themselves had often experienced and remonstrated against, and which from the first settlement of this Country have disgraced the Annals of New England."

The funeral procession of Mr. Stanford, yesterday, presented a truly solemn sight.  Mr. S. being a Mason, which added very much to the solemnity of the scene.  The procession was headed by the Tyler with drawn sword then followed the German Band, St. John's Lodge, No. 1, Hearse, Mourners and citizens generally.
