Exclusive jurisdiction in and over said lot or parcel of land, when acquired by the United States, was ceded to the United States for the purposes mentioned except the service upon such sites of all civil and criminal processes of the courts of this State; but the jurisdiction so ceded shall continue no longer than the United States shall own such piece of land.
