choly duty to perform this morning of recording
the death of Charles NJ Randall, Esq, Of this city.
We have known Mr.. Randall for many years, and
in common with every one who had the pleasure
Of his acquaintance, we loved and respected him.
His kindly disposition, sterling integrity, and
tended information, made him useful and honored
citizen and his loss will be severely felt, only
by his family and the numerous circle of friends
which he had created, but by the community at
large. He has left the void which the death of a
good man always leaves His remains were in
tered at the Cypress Grove Cemetery, yesterday,
and a numerous funeral, composed of the members
of the bar and other citizens, followed them to the
grave.
