Death Of a Graduate Of Notye Dame

All the many friends of AUGUSTINE f.
TAMMANY, and especially his old college
friends, were profoundly grieved to hear that
he had met with a premature death. He
was a young man of robust constitution,
and of more than ordinary grade of talent.
His genial manners, kis usually strict OBJ
servance of college regulations, and his high
order of intellect, endeared him to the Stu
dents, Officers and Professors of the Institu-
tion
The following extract from letter receiv6.
by one of the students, was the first an
nouncement we had of his death since
then We learn that bis death was caused by
an accident on the Northern Central Rail
road /:

"hIrs. T. Shoemaker received dispatch
last night, bringing the sad news of the
death of her brother, Aug. Tammany He
died very suddenly, in Elpira, N. Y He
went there on visit. l suppose the news
win surprise you, for it is too true to be
doubted. I have not heard the particulars
yet. Mrs. Shoemaker left for Elmira this
morning. 1t is supposed that he died of
cholera, as it is raging in that place"
On Tuesday, the Oath inst, the Philodem-
