Few are the links in the chain of living men which bind us to the last century and one by one they are being broken. On the 7th there died at Fairhaven (Charlotte Co.) a veteran, the span of whose life embrased the whole period of New Brunswick history. John RANDALL was descended from one of the German families which settled in New York at the time of Dutch colonization. He was born at Argyle, N.S. in 1790. He came of a long lived stock, his mother having lived to the age of 92, his grandmother to the age of 103. The deceased gentleman had a remarkedly retentive memory in his early days and used to describe graphically the arrival of the "Shannon" in Halifax harbor in tow, the burial of Lawrence with all the honors of war, and other stirring incidents of colonial life in the early part of the century. He had lived long enough to hold in his arms, a child of fifth generation of his descent, and died while children, grandchildren, etc. stood by his bedside. - Tel.
