At New Market, N. J., March 20, Asa F. Randolph, after a protracted illness of nine years, which he bore with Christian resignation. He professed religion and united with the church at New Market in 1837. When the church at Plainfield was constituted, he was living at that place, and was one of its constituent members. Having established himself at New Market, he took a letter from the church at Plainfield, and united with us, in February 1852. He departed in peace to join the church triumphant. His character was unspotted; his life was one worthy of imitation; and his end was peace. W. B. G.
