SUDDEN DEATH OF

One of Pennsylvania's Foremost Legal
Minds is No More, Ill But A Few
{Days His Career.
All of our readers will learn with
feelings of pain of the death of Hon.
John H. Orvis, at his home at Belle-
fonte, on Monday afternoon last.
The Judge with a few friends, some
two weeks before his death, had been
out deer hunting, in which he in-
dulged every fall. On his return he
took sick, no doubt from the effects of
a cold contracted from exposure in
camping out. Hisillness rapidly took
a serious turn, hemmorhage of the
stomach set in and was the cause of
his death. Mr. Orvis was not blessed
with a sound constitution and for
dical treatment. He was subject to
violent attacks of rheumatism.
The Centre county bar never pro-
duced a more able lawyer ; his ‘legal
talents were of that high order that he
ranked among the foremost minds of
the legal profession in this state, and

monwealth.

years’ practice he left that town and
located at Bellefonte.
soon attracted attention, and altho
still young, he quickly rose to the head
of the bar and gained a large practice.
He was an able and ready speaker, and
had the faculty of putting all he said
his points right along. His arguments
were ever logical ; his one great fort
was a remarkable memory ; he would
sit for days at a trial and listen to tes-
timony, without
notes,

was recognised as the ablest man in
the House.

law judge by Gov. Hartranft, for this
district composed of the counties Cen-
tre, Clinton and Clearfield, and at the
following election was nominated for
President Judge by the Democrats of
the district and elected. He served
with distinguished ability upon the
bench, and before the close of his term
he resigned and resumed the practice
of law which was far more lucratiye
than the Judgeship. >

President Judge.
