''JOunt' Won ShtiWN< hUtts Meutsht
A special telegram from Media, Pa !,
announces the sudden and unexpected
departure of Prof. q. W Won Gallwitz,
nd the surprise of number of his
creditors. Won Galwitz was teacher Of
languages in that aristocrati, little town,
and gave it out that he was titled count
when home but had left Germany on
aooount OF uttering some disloyal senti-
ments when with party OF officers, in
their barracks. Given this cue Media
society huttered about Won Gallwitz and
being an exceedingly handsome, bright,
cultured fellow he was overwhelmed with
attentions. At the social gatherings he
was the lion and in fact had the town "by
the ears" On Tuesday last Won Gailwitz
departed suddenly from Media and in
some surrep'itious way got his per-
sonal effects from his lodgings. He
has not since been heard OF
but doubtless does not intend return
ing. II has since been discovered that
he has contracted numerous bills which
be left unpaid, and fact which humili.
ates his social acquaintance is the dis
covery that he had half interest in
cheap laundry in the town, having bor-
rowed money from a lady pupil in lam
