Their theories are plausible to the general mind. People who believe in a bell might put in an opinion as to the disputed whereabouts of hell, that it was located in the centre of the earth and that volcanoes are a proof of it. This theory might be built upon the plausible idea that when satan got too great a run of sinners the fires would need 10 be greater and to such an extent as to cause a boiling over of the brimstone and that volcanoes are the vents. Hades is a terrible place as per all biblical authority and a volcano answers the de. scription, and offers a powerful argu: ment as to the possibility of one in action being the spouting of an overheated hades. If this theory could be substan: tiated beyond a cavil, to bring a sinner to repentance it would only be necessary to bring him to the rim of the crater of Mont Pelee and look down--that would be enough to settle him and make him confess to all the bad he was guilty of. Not one would like to run the risk of be- ing dumped down into Mont Pelee, Boufriere, Vesuvius or Hecla! Hades may just as likely be in the interior of the earth as elsewhere, and its conveni. encejthus would strike sinners with great. er terror, There are enough of volcanoes in North, South and Central America to supply one for each religious denomina. tion.

Last week the Keystone Gazette, among other things said ; “At the primaries on Saturday Mr. Dunlap had received 771 more votes than any other man except Meyer, and over 1,100 more than his successful competi tor, Mr. Humpton."' A compilation from the official returns, which are in the hands of Chairman John J, Bower, shows that the total vote cast for Mr. Danlap, at the primaries, Saturday May 31, was 3585. How then could he have 1,100 more than any other candidate? Any one who doubts these figures can count them for his own satis. faction. This is another evidence that Tom Har- ter, the Gazette man, should either enter the Bellefonte Academy and have Jimmy Hughes brush up his mathematics; and if that don't remedy the faculty of exag- geration, probably more regular attend. ance at Dr. Laurie's Sunday school would be the only remedy. ANOTHER MISREPRESENTATION In the same issue the following ap- peared : “The Democrats nominated Capt. Hugh Taylor for sheriff because of bis | record as a Spanish-American soldier, and at the same time nominated W. H Wetzel for assembly because he, when in the legislature, opposed the bill to give a bounty to the boys who enlisted in the service. That is what might justly be termed a “hydrostatic paradox.” Several times in the past the above allusion was made, It is unfounded, un | true and an injustice to Mr. Wetzel, Our contemporay has the reputation of with heresay charges, evidently never concerned about their joyously welcoming any su itis a vicious assault That class the above political flings We defy the editor his and, upon a democrat. where we of ugly charge until then Wetzel we brand reckles who is the par EDITOR JOHN C.

Hughes, by the Alumni and old students of the Academy, of a hand: some combination book case and writing desk. The presentation speech was made by Edmund Blanchard on the part of the Alumni, and was responded to very fittingly by Rey. Hughes, who seemed deeply touched by the kind thoughtfulness of his former pupils and friends. ’ After the above event refreshments were served (o all present.
