Died, on the 12th of last month, at his residence in this city, Edward Randolph, after a short but severe illness, in the 84th year of his age. His loss, both to his family and friends, is painfuly and severely felt; yet they have the consoling assurance that his mind was fully prepared for the solemn close. For many years he filled the station of elder in the Society of Friends, and being endowed with more than ordinary capacity, he spent a long life in the performance of the various social and religious duties with dignity and integrity, adorning the religion of Jesus Christ, in whom his faith was unwavering, by the circumspection of his conversation and deportment.

C., Zilpha Moore, in the 87th year of her age; an esteemed member of Neuse Monthly Meeting of Friends, in Wayne county. This dear sister had been afflicted for a number of years. She bore her sufferings with patient resignation, showing her continual dependence upon her Divine Master. She was cheerful amid all her trials, adn enjoyed the company of those who came to see her, often dropping a word of encouragement and sympathy. In her last hours she was calm, with the dying words, "Farewell, I am going home."

Moore.—At the residence of his son, Nathaniel Moore, in Wenona, Marshall county, Ill., on the 1st of Fourth month, 1886, David Moore, Sen., in the ninety-ninth year of his age. He was born in New Jersey, spent the prime of his life in western Ohio, and buried his wife there. For the last quarter of a century his home has been with his son in Illinois, where he died, In these later years of his life I have been ery intimately acquainted with him, and ever found him a kind generous friend, ready to give good advice and a reason to everyone that asked for the hopes he had for the future.
The deceased was a valued member of Clear Creek Monthly Meeting, but has been unable to attend much for years. He had been blind for the last ten or twelve years, but he gaev abundant evidence that his spiritual vision was undimmed, that his lamp was kept trimmed and burning, and that he could “read his title clear” to a heavenly mansion, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Our dear friend has a sister still older than himself in Ohio, who if she lives till the Sixth month, will be a hundred years old. He has left three sons all advanced in years, and has lived to see the fourth generation of descendants. One son, a few days before the father’s death, celebrated the fiftieth year of his married life.
Our friend had no sickness; the delicate machinery was just wron out, and “like a shock of corn fully ripe he was gathered to the Father.” The end of the good man is like the dazzling glory of the setting sun that casts its rays back to the place of its starting : may we emulate him in his sterling qualities and may our later days be like his. At a solemn meeting on the occasion, two communications were listened to, commemorative of his good and virtuous life, and before the Friends separated a solemn prayer was offered.
