HON. JOHN G. LOVE.
James and Mrs. Catharine Gray Love
town, in the township of Halfmoon,
this county, on December 10, 1842, be.
ing at the time of his death aged
sixty-seven years, five months and
seventeen days. The early years of
his life were spent in the home under
the care of an intelligent helpful fath-
er and an affectionate mother. At the
early age of twelve he moved with Lis
parents to a farm in the extreme west
end of the township. Here was un.
doubtedly acquired by labor on the
farm those habits of diligence, thrift
and industry which adhered to him
and served him so well, during all the
after years of his life,
The education obtaived in his youth
was such as was atforded in the public
schools of that day and which was se-
cured by a daily tramp of two and
one-half miles each way. In these
schools he became proficient in the
rudiments of an elementary education
and iu the fall of 1560 he entered
Dickinson Seminary at Williamsport.
In this school he continued for the
full year. During the summer he
worked on the farm, and the winter of
1861 he taught a public school at
Stony Point in Patton township, after
which he again entered Dickinson
Bemipary for the epring term. He
taught school the next school term at
Masseysburg, in Huntingdon county,
and at the end of this term he, for the
third time, entered Dickinson Bemi-
nary and on his return in June, 18563,
he immediately commenc:d work on
the farm.
Like thousands of others, when news
came that the great host led by Gen.
Lee, was entering Pennsylvania, he
joined the militia forces and rendered
excellent services to his state, and the
invader was driven from her sacred
soil. Later, being filled with the
spirit of fight he enlisted in the service
of the United Btates at Mt. Union,
Huntingdon county, and on reaching
Harrisburg, he was placed in the 22nd
Penn’a Cavalry. Having been in the
servize nine months, he was mustered
out of the army in the early fall of
1864.
In 1865 he entered the law office of
Edmund Blanchard, E«q, as a stu-
dent at law, and continued to study
therein until the fall of 1566, when
he entered the law school at Albany,
New York, from which he graduated
in June, 1867, and about the same time
was admitted to the bar of that state,
From there he returned to his home
in August, 1867, became, and continu-
ed to be, a member of the bar of Centre
county to the day of his death.
Asa lawyer he was a success, He
had an element largely which wil
if followed cause any man in time to
become a good lawyer. He not only
was quick to comprehend any case
that he had in hand, but he always
bad the evidence and the law relat-
ing thereto thoroughly digested and
analyzed. The most able and dis-
tinguished member the Centre County
Bar ever had, said of him, * Love has
the most analytical mind of any man
I ever knew. He can distinguish be-
tween cases very clearly, thus giving
him a great advantage over other
attorneys.
He served the people of the forty-
ninth judicial district for a period of
ten years, from January, 1895, to Janu-
ary, 1905, with honor and credit as the
president of their Courts. In all this
time he was rarely reversed by either
of the higher Courts and when he was
reversed, he was reversed because he
allowed his prejudices or passions to
draw him away from the rigid rules
and well grounded principles of the
law. Asa judge he dispatched busi.
ness io the trial of causes rapidly and
correctly, and very promptly disposed
ofall matters brought before him at
Argument Court,
In politics, ss every one knows, the
Judge was a Republican of the stal-
wart kind. Hoe served his party and
the men who controlled it well, and
while it is trus, he had held rome
office, and received some emoluments
therefore, he deserved much better
than he received.
Ino religion Mr. Love was for more
than forty years a member of the
Methodist Episcopal church,
Judge Love was twice married,
Hometime in 1874 lo Miss Mattie Fisk,
a woman of great accomplishments,
and who departed this life early in

Methods of a Mongoose In Attacking
the. Big Snake.
1 bad the good fortune to witness a
fight between a four foot cobra de
capello and a mongoose,
On first eatching sight of the cobra,
rikki tik (as Rudyard Kipling calls the
Indian mongoose) quietly swelled its
tail and then hung around awaiting
events with curiosity, but he had not
long to walt, for the cobra spread its
hood, hissed out its death sentence and
prepared to dart from its coll at its
natural and bated enemy,
Now commenced a most interesting
and deadly battle of feint and counter
felnt by the mongoose and strike and
lightning-like recovery by his adver-
sary, who was also on the defensive,
all the time watching for the opportu-
nity to get in his properly aimed bite.
Time after time rikki tik squirmed
slowly up to within reach of those ter-
rible fangs, belly on ground, with ev-
ery gray balr gf his body erect with
anger and excitement, his eyes glaring
from his head, which, by the way, he
invariably beld sideways during this
approach and attack, but the moment
the cobra struck in a flash back sprang
master mongoose, and, although often
it appeared as if impossible that he
could have escaped the dreaded fangs,
ne'er a scratch harmed him, and there
be would be again wearing the cobra
out and pressing bls advantage inch
by inch. At last, with a grow! and
sharp rikki ery, the plucky little beast
flew in, avoided the strike and seized
the snake behind the bead, never for a
poment getting under his mouth, but
right at the nape of the neck and
bead, which he scrunched with a loud
cracking sound despite the struggles
and twisting and turning of the cobra
Aguin and again rikk! returned to the
now writhing reptile and bit its head
and body until it lay dying.
Finally he ate three or four inches
of his mortal foe, but carefully avolded
eating the fangs and polson glands,
which 1 picked up by a stick and
found them broken, but with the ven-
om sacks attached.
Contrary to popular belief, I am of
opinion the mongoose is not immune
from snake poison, else why should he

DESTROYED BY CHEMICALS.
Weapons Used by Assassins Against
Royal Personages.
Very few people are aware that as
soon as the tris! of an assassin of
royalty is concluded the weapon with
which be accomplished his crime is
carefully destroyed so that no trace of
it remains
The reason of this Is twofold—first
of all, the possibility exists that ut
some time or other the weapons used
in a royal tragedy may be exhibited to
the public in some museum or show,
and, second, there is a strange super
stitions dread existing among reigning
houses that the existence of the inno
cent but uchallowed weapons by
which rulers have been dispatched to
eternity is fraught with peril to their
descendants,
The method of destroying these
weapons is a curious one. The wooden
portions, such as the stocks of pistols
or the handles of polnards, are burned,
and the metal portions are eaten away
in a bath of nitric acid
This has been the custom ever since
the attempted gssassination of Queen
isabella of Spain In 1852 by Merius.
Prior to that date the metal work of
firearms or knives was ground or filed
away, but the blade of the dagger with
which Merius sought to execute his
dastardly crime proved to be of such
exquisite temper and hardness that it
resisted both file and grindstone.
This became known to the populace,
and the superstitious Spaniards bellev-
ed that Merios had invested his weap-
ou with magical qualities. To divest
them of this absurd belief the authori
ties had the weapon destroyed by im-
mersing it in chemicals, a rule fbat
has been followed ever since.
