Abraham Mursert former well known
citizen of Shade and SiOnycreek townships,
died at Berlin, on "Wednesday morning last,
aged ca years. The manner of his death
was sudden and startling. he was engaged
at making garden in the lot of Mr.. A. C.
Floto and had his foot raised in position TO
force the steel spade into the earth, when,
without a word Of warning, he threw up his
arms and dropped to the ground stone dead.
Mr.. Floto was conversing with him at the
time and could not believe that life was ex-
tinct in Mursert's body until after a physi-
clan had assured him that such was the
case.
The deceased was born in Switzerland
and had served in the army of his native
country. He came TO the United States
shortly before the close of the civil war
and enlisted in q New York company.
He served until the close of the war. He
was twice married. His first wife
was Miss Leah Helman, of Shade township.
She died about ten years following her mar
riage. His second wife was Miss Eve Flee
gle who survives. Mursert was man oi
more than ordinary intelligence. He spoke
three or four languages, all of them fiuently
He was of very convial habits and was g
frequent visitor in Somerset.

Several hundred of the foremost citizens
of Pittsburg and Allegheny have organized
committees to prepare for the 2sih National
Eacampment of the Grand Army Of the
Republic in Pittsburg during the week be-
ginning September 10Th next. This promis-
es TO be the largest and most impressive dem
onstration ever witnessed in Western Penn
sylVania Besides, as it is now twenty-nine
years since the Civil War ended, il is not
probable that the Union veterans Of that
struggle will ever again be massed in such
vast numbers Already the Committee on
Accommodations has secured free quarters
for 40, 200 men, and applications for these
quarters are coming in daily from Posts in
every direction. The railroads last year
carried 26s 900 persons TO the Eacampment
at indianapolis, and Pittsbarg being in a
more pOpulous territory, there is a natural
expectation that this number will be ex-
ceeded.
Pittsburg councils have appropriated
5000 toward the Eacampment Fdnd and
Allegheny councils 5 900, while the people
of the two municipalities are expected to
subscribe $75, 900 to the end that the affair
NAV be a thorough success.
