DIR. LEVIN.
Tho Adventurer Skips Philadelphia.

Sheriff Strine and Officer Stormfeltz
who went to Philadelphia yesterday to
gobble up the absconding DR.. Levin, have
returned to Lancaster without their game
Sheriff Strine ascertaincd that DR.. Levin
had sold week or two ago to B. III
Stuckert, Nos. G15, 617 and 619 NORTH
Fifth street, his bay and sorrel horses, his
sleigh, coupe. harness, &C., &C., for $3.50
and had received the money for them.' A
few days ago he sold to MIR. Stuckel
the pair OF black match horses he
purchased from Mr.. COlvin. receiving fOl
them $3.50 cash. The sheriff further ascer
tanned that DIR. Levin had stopped ut the
American house, Philadelphia, registered
himself under the name of Kaulle-the
first name not being remembered by the
sheriff. Levin left the American house
yesterday. and said lie was going to New
York, and left directions as to where he
might be found, but it is probable tine
directions are bogus.
DR.. Levin it will be remembered drove
from this city to Philadelphia with hi.
pair of match horses. On reaching the
city one of tine horses was found to be
badly fOundcred, and this may account 70,
his getting only $3.50 for the team.
Mr.. Walter, who is the principal sufferer
by DR.. Lewin's flight, declines to spend
any more money in his prosecution-or,
as he expressed it, "he will send no good
money after bad.' II Levin were arrest
ed, he might be convicted and imprisoned,
but that would be poor satisfaction for
Mr.. Walters loss of money.
Mr.. Stuckert, who bought DR.. Lewin's
horses, carriage, &C., appears to be a mar
Of 1or nd ohar
to have acted honOrably in his transac
tions with DR.. Levin.
Alderman Barr, who issued the warrants
for Lewin's arrest, says that when he was
in Columbia a few days ago on visit to
Alderman Frank, he met Dr.. Levin, who
showed him through his Hospital
treated him to choice wines Of various
brands, and insisted on his taking dinner
with him. The dinner was an excellent
one, at which all the delicacies Of the sea-
the table were several ladies, supposed to
be patients under treatment, and also Mr.
Stuckert, whom it has since been learned
was invited to Columbia Or the purpose Of
looking at and taking an inventory Of Dr.
Lewin's furniture, with q view Of purchas
ing it.

and other effects Of DR.. Levin. seized in
Columbia, will be sold by public sale OF
next Monday week.
1t is stated that among other victims OF
DR.. Lewin's sharp practice is a mar
named thinner, residing in the Eighth
ward, this city, who endorsed note fol
the doctor for $50, and that the latseI
raised' the note before getting it cashet
to $500. s
Some of our Hebrew friends take ex
ceptiOn to the statement that DR.. Levin
was Russian Jew. Not long since :
prominent member of the Jewish congre
CATION invited DR.. Levin to a meeting
held in the synagogue. DR.. Lewir
declined to attend, saying thai
he was not Jew but a mem
Der of the Russian Greek church
Shortly after DIR. Lewin's advent here, HI
told Protestant gentleman that although
he was of Jewish parentage lie cared moth
ing for the Jewish faith and wanted to b,
introduced to some prominent Protestants
with view of connecting himself with th'
