In these few words we record the decease of one to whom a large circle of friends were devotedly attached. Very many hearts, not only in her native State, but in other parts of our Union, will sympathize with the bereaved family upon the announcement to them of this mournful event. They will feel that they have each of them lost a friend; that one of the fondest of their earthly associations has been sundered. Seldom or never have we attempted to speak of the death of an acquaintance with such feelings of sadness as now oppress us. The friend of our earlier years of maturity has gone. One with whom we had often taken sweet intercourse and who had endeared herself to us by many kind offices, has closed her earthly career. But while we mourn our own loss, we remember that there are those upon whose hearts this stroke has fallen with a pang of much deeper intensity. An affectionate husband has lost from his embrace the wife of his early manhood and the partner of his bosom for more than 26 years. Fond parents weep over the departure of their first-born--a kind and dutiful daughter. A surviving sister and a brother lament the loss of one around whose memory their earliest associations are fondly clustered. A son and two daughters by marriage, one of them still clad in the habiliments of her early widowhood, have been called to take a last look upon the countenance of a mother.
We attempt not to describe the throbs of anguish which rend their breasts. But not these alone are afflicted by this sad event. A large circle of more distant relatives and a larger number of acquaintances and friends, each bear a share in the general bereavement. Of a temperament far more social and active than ordinary, she had a rare faculty of exciting the deep interest and friendship of those with whom she associated. A brief interview with her has often laid the foundation of a permanent and friendly intimacy. Each of these will mourn the breaking of a bright link in the chain of friendship. Nor yet here will the influence of this event cease to be felt. The remarkable mental activity of the deceased was not limited by the precincts of her family connexion or the wider boundaries of her social intercourse. While she ordered with remarkable neatness and accuracy the affairs of her own household, the outdoings of her expansive benevolence reached many who had known her only by the hearing of the ear. The cries of suffering and the wants of the needy were not unheeded by her. Even amid the pains of her severe and protracted sickness she ceased not to devise plans for the good of the unfortunate of her race. Many a poor family in Syracuse will cherish her memory in grateful remembrance, and will feel that they too are called to mourn.
Mrs. Randall was the daughter of Judge Monell of Greene, Chenango Co., N.Y. She was born in that town on the 28th of Oct. 1812. She was married to Mr. N. Randall, May 4th, 1831. In 1847 she was brought to the borders of the grave by a disease of the stomach. Her health from this time forward was never firm, though she was not permanently confined to the house until about one year previous to her death. Much of the time during these months her sufferings were intense. Her mental faculties, however, were unclouded to the last moment of her life. She was fully conscious for several days that her end was near. She freely expressed her wishes in regard to the arrangements of her funeral, bade an affectionate farewell to her family and friends, and audibly committed herself to the care of her Savior and Almighty Friend. She calmly breathed her last at 7 o'clock on the evening of the day above mentioned. She was buried on the Sunday following in accordance with the ceremonies of the Episcopal Church of which she had been a communicant for the last 9 years of her life. Cortland County Republican.

Seldom are children permitted to enjoy the presence of a venerable parent for so long a period as those who gathered at the happy home of the aged Christian, whose decease is herewith registered. Time had but in a slight degree impaired the vigor of his mental faculties, and but a few days of sickness preceded his departure to the rest of the sainted dead. Warm in his love for the Chruch, in whose armaments and institutions his soul was nourished for heaven, he rejoiced in the privilege of joining where he was enabled to do so in her sweet communion and service. Of cheerful temperament and simple hearted piety, enjoying in the kind ministries of his children all needed earthly comforts, he lived for the world of blessedness, whither he has gone. He recalled in his experience the language applied to one of the great patriarchs of an older dispensation, "Then shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age."
