SATISFACTORILY Merrill, of Memphis,
says in case Of q sun-stroke the first con-
sideration is perfect rest, as every exer-
ton tends TO a further depression of vital
power. Cold water should be applied
freely to the head, warmth and friction,
and mustard plasters to the feet and legs.
The most active stimulants and antispas-
modes are prescribed internally. Chloro-
form is probably the most active and re-
liable. 1t may be given in doses of one
tcaspoonful either with or without water.
Opium, laudanum, brandy, whisky, am
monin, and mustard emetics, are among
the other remedies generally approved by
physicians.

street Market-space Railroad Company
Graselli Us. The same. In this case, which
was argued before Judges Hoadly, Storer
and Spencer, the opinion was delivered by
Judge Hoadly--the others being also on the
bench. uglLN
In the case OF West, the plaintiffs ask the
Court to enjoin the construction of double
track Railway by the defendants, on East
Pearl.street, from Lawrence to Martin; and
in the other, TO enjoin the construction OF IA
single track upon East Front-street, between
Washington and Pearl.
After stating the points rs claimed on each
side, the Court remarked that after careful
consideration, having regard to the magni-
tude of the interests, and the difficulty OF the
questions involved, the Court find II necessary
to direct a reargument
Assuming, however, that the work is ille-
gal, and constitutes public nuisance, IL does
not follow that the plaintiffs are entitled TO
an injunction.
There was much conflict in the testimony
as to the probability of injury, and also upon
the question whether single or double tracks
best accommodate the public. Certainty upon
these subjects could only be attained, if at
all, by trying the experiment.
Inc OOurJ cOncluueu as IOllOWs'
"As it is suggested that the grant of the
city, even if invalid as binding contract for
the full term of twenty years, for which il
purports TO run, may be sustained as a license

revocable at the will of the City Council, We
shall require the plaintiffs in the several cases

result from the construction and use of thei
railway, until further order of the Court, an'
will obey such order. The amount of th
bond in the case of West and Others will

interests represented are much smaller

REMARKABLE METEoR.--The Philadelphia
Ledger thus. speaks of the great meteor which
was seen in various cities of the East on Fri
day evening:
About halfpast nine a very extraordinary
meteor made its appearance in the heavens.
The writer was riding in Broad-street below
the city, and had a fair view Of the phenom-
enon in its whole course. 1t rose in the
northwestern part of the heavens, from
cloud which was not revealed until the light
of the meteor made it visible. Then an OBJ
ject, about the size of the full moon, and as
bright, suddenly started from the cloud, ira
versed, in direct easterly line, the whole
extent of visible space dropping fire, appa-
rently, in its course, like rocket till 1t
passed so far eastward as to resemble a red
ball, about twice the size of the planet Mars,
visible in the southeast. So soon as it dis
appeared, a fash like heat lightning, revealed
cloud TO the eastward, low down in the hor-
iZon, which continued to emit flashes of light
forhalf an hour afterward. The phenomenon
at one time seemed to separate like a rocket
when it bursts, but the larger portion keep
ing in straight course toward the eastward.
It was witnessed by many persons, and
caused considerable wonderment for the time,
and was certainly the most extraordinary ap-
pearance that we ever saw in the heavens
Its motion was not SO fast, apparently, as
that of rocket though its hight and the
vast extent of space that 1t traversed, proved
that Its velocity must have exceeded thet pro.
duced by any known force which we are ac'
| quainted with. The phenomenon, from al
appearances, must have been electrical.
