MILLER, Minnie GREISAMER, Minnie GREULICH, Mary DOTTERER, Eva DOTTERER, Eva M. BIELER, Blanche R. SCHANTZ. The commencement of the East Greenville High School, was held on Wednesday evening, in St. John's Chapel. The Chapel was crowded to its utmost capacity. The graduates acquitted themselves nobly and creditably in presenting their productions. The East Greenville Orchestra furnished excellent music for the occasion. Rev. O.S. KRIEBEL, of the Perkiomen Seminary, gave an instructive talk to the graduates. His subject was, "We are the Heirs of all the Ages." His talk was highly appreciated. The diplomas were presented by the President of the Board of Education, N.B. KEELY. The stage was beautifully decorated with plants and appropriate bunting. On each side of the stage a pillar was erected with the letters E.G.H.S., on one and 1905 on the other. The motto, "Die Arbeit Kronet Das Ende," was placed in a semi circle on the arch above the stage. SHY OF POOR HOUSE ORDERS Since the recent peculiar business methods of the Berks County Poor Directors have been disclosed the purchasing of supplies for the institution has become a serious problem. For the past several weeks no offers of cattle for the institution were made this seems to indicate that the dealers are afraid they will be brought before a board of inquiry and requested to explain all about it. Comptroller LIVINGOOD advertised for bids for furnishing the almshouse with 10 fat steers, to weigh not less than 1200 pounds each. The steers must be ready for inspection on June 13. This is the second time that bids were invited, but on each date set for the opening of the bids no bids were received. As a result the food supply at the Almshouse has suffered and scarcely any meat could be bought. In order to avoid this meat famine at the institution a special meeting was held by the poor directors to adopt measures to remendy the state of affairs. POST OFFICE LOOTED Early on Wednesday morning, the general store and post office of Croypen, near Bristol, was robbed and the building totally destroyed by fire. Postmaster SPILER, residing back of the store, tried to enter the burning building after being awakened by noises but was unable to do so. Two men escaped in the darkness during the excitement. BICYCLE ACCIDENT Florence, the five year old tot of Fred RENNIEGER, of Boyertown, while walking with several grown up persons near Bally, was knocked down by the bicycle of some unknown rider and received several severe bruises about the head. The cyclist paid no attention to the child but proceeded on his journey as if nothing had happened. OVERCOME BY HEAT Mrs. Annie BERNHARDT, of Perkiomenville, fell in front of the Times Office Norristown, on Tuesday and a doctor was summoned to render tempory aid after which the woman was removed to Charity Hospital as soon as possible. Mrs. BERNHARDT had spent most of the day in the office of her attorney in relation to a civil suit about which she is greatly worried. This in addition to the heat brought an attack of heart trouble to which the woman is subject. No serious results are expected. LECTURE OF PROF. JAMES M. ANDERS On Tuesday evening, June 12th at 8 o'clock, Prof. James M. ANDERS, M.D. Ph. D., of Philadelphia, will lecture in the Seminary chapel on "Contagious Diseases, and how to prevent them." Dr. ANDERS is Professor of Medicine at the Medico-Chirurgical College at Philadelphia, and the author of a book on medicine which is used in forty medical colleges of the country as a text-book. He is a recognized authority in general medicine in this country and his lecture ought to be interesting and profitable. The public is cordially invited. AUTO CAUSES ACCIDENT Last Sunday while Frank UPDEGROVE and friend of Rudy, were driving on the public highway at Red Hill an Automobile scared his horse causing him to run in the wire fence tearing the harness breaking the staft and suffering other damages. The occupants were not hurt. We fully agree with the Farm Journal and would urge to have more stingent law relative to the reckless driving of the automobitist. Of course it is hard to pull against the stream, dog will not eat dog. ROBBERS SCARED OFF Some prowlers tried to gain an entrance into the residence of Frank RUHF, of Zionsville, last Sunday night. Mr. RUFE heard them before they were in the house. He got up and went down stairs when the intruders left for parts unknown.
