  A Philadelphian Drowned - By a private telegraphic dispatch, received 
yesterday morning, we learn that Mr. Thomas C. Jolly, a resident of 
this city, was drowned at Vicksburg, Mississippi, a few days since.  He 
was landing from a steamboat and while walking off the gang plank, 
accidentally fell overboard. Deceased was formerly an operator of the 
magnetic telegraph, and at one time was a civil engineer on the 
Pennsylvania Railroad.  At the time of his death he was in the employ 
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company as a travelling agent. Mr. Jolly 
was a single man, about twenty-eight years of age.  His parents reside 
in the interior of the State, but formerly lived in this city.  He had 
the reputation of being a kind hearted man, and his many friends will 
be sorry to hear of his sudden decease. - Forney's Press.
  The gentleman named above is a brother of M. H. Jolly, Esq., of this 
place, and was staying with him, at the time he received his 
appointment from the Pennsylvania Railroad company.  His father is dead 
and his mother resides at Altoona, and we learn, the intelligence of 
her son's death afflicts her very much....

DIED.

  Suddenly, at Vicksburg, Mississippi, on Sunday, the 9th inst., Thomas 
Craig, son of the late Gen. Thos. M. Jolly, of Norristown, Pa., aged 
28 years, 5 months and 15 days.
