CASES OF Sun STRoKE-Yesterday evening
about six O'Clock, officer Frazier found q man
lying on the pavement on Seventh street, near
north. He was supposed to be very drunk,
and was taken to the Station-house of the
Fourth Ward, where in a very few min utes,
it was ascertained that be was suffering from
the effects OF heat, and was to all appearance,
dying. Sergeant (ronin and his men set to
work TO make him comfortable and sent for a
physician. After looking about for Doctor, the
ofhcer succeeded in finding Dr. May, who
promptly went TO the station. DR.. NJ. ordered
an application OF ice to his head, a blister to
the back of his neck. and mustard plasters TO
the interior surface Of his thighs. The officers
detailed TO nurse him did not leave him a mo-
moment; and at five o'clock the poor fellow fell
into quiet slumber, and the officers felt salts
Ned that their labor had not been in vain. He
had about SIS on his person, and a dining room,
card Of the BUTLER restaurant, 322 Pennsylva-
MA avenue Upon inquiring there the officers
ascertained that his name is Chas Bergner,
BaYaIian, who has been employed in the res
Taurant long time. At nine O'Clock this
morning he could converse q little. and it is
expected that attention such as the police gave
him will entirely restore him.

whose name is unknown, but who used to
work at shoemaking i'll a little shanty south
side OF the avenue, near Third street, fell in
