GROUP.

Dr. Reddelin of Weimar, has co,nmu.
nicaled 10 the Royal Society at Coffin
gen the following successful treatment
OF Group, after the usual rem edies had
been tried without effect 1.-THE patient
was female aged 10, who, on the third
day after being seized with the Group,
was unable to swallow, had begun 10
rattle in the throat, and seemed ap-
preaching rapidly to dissolution. Dir.
Reddclin insinuated, by means Of a
quill, mixture of Spanish snuff and
marracco into her nostrils; and after
repeating this mixture second time, it
excited sneezing and vomiting; this
occasioned the discharge Of two long
membrsnons cylinders from the trachea
(wind-pipe) upon which the rafting i'm
mediately ceased, and the patient
was rescued from instantaneous suffo-
cation. One of the tubes, when split
open, measured nine French lines in
breadth; they were quite white and
bore "a strong extension without injury
to their hbrous texture.

Mr.. Isaiah S. Hendryx, an ingenious
mechanic of this town, has lately invent
ed, and obtained a patent for an inslru-
ment called the Delineator, to be used in
the cutting ofgarments. Being fitted to
the fashion required, it shows with pre-
cision all the points necessary to be
found in cutting for any size or proper
ton; and, we think, must be of great
use TO tailors. 1t has been tried by
others and himself and others in the vi
cini'y, and answers well the purpose in
tended. 1t will probably also be useful
