" .muchin its lateral 'dimensiOns, assuming . very dark and dense aPPeaFance sgaiN 1t would eKpana itself and exhibit more snO- | ky and hery aspect. This accOrds we'll with the appearance of the track, which about n mile east of New Brunswick is narrowed in l passing through field of grain to width not Iexceeding one hu0dred feet. but on etriking
 a wood immediately contiguous. the trees are l affected 0a a width Of two hundred feet,
 showing an expansion in the body Of the real
 whirlwiOd as it ascends from the earth, while
 the cloudy or dusty cone which appears in its
 centre. .near the earth, assumes contrary form. The general course of the TOrnadO, till
 within two miles of New Brunswick, appears tO have been little north of east, and from thence till it entered the waters of RartOn Bay, its track seems tO have averaged nearly
 east. The hail, rain, and other ponderOus
 matter discharged from the upper end, of the
 vortex appears to have fallen farther north,
 a; Bridgptnwn, Staten Island. SLc. Two hats taken from New Brunswick. fell near Bridge town. The track affords indubitable evidence
 that the rotalive motion Of the whirlwind was
 from right tn left.
 The Tornado which passed through War rcn cnuniy at the same time, and which has
 been mistakenly noticed in the papers as be- ing the same whirlwind, exhibited for five
 miles track of half mile wide, and would seem to have been in itself a tar more formi-
 dable phrnofnennn. The width of the New Brunswick Tornado seems nowhere to have
 exceeded few hundred feet. and notwith-
 standing the great havoc made in New. Brnns-
 wick and the villages which fell in its way,
 seems to have been by DO means of such mag
 nitude and violence as many of it's predeces- sOrs, which have spent their fury on more distant and obscure localities. 1 The tornado which appeared near Paterson, on the evening of the same day, was probably the same which passed through Warren COnn l ", if we may judge from it's course, and the time ofits appearance. which was something more than two hours later than at Knolton, l near the Delaware, and we are perhaps in. debtrd to it for the vivid phenomena observ. ed in the city on the same evening.
 7he Farmer and the Phrenoiogist.-One of those travelling phrenol"gists-wh go about the country, making fools of the people, or deceiviDg those who are already fOols-stop. ped at the house of farmer not hundred miles from this city, and proposed the sub ject of examining his chidren's heads.
 The honest farmer, to whom the subject was entirely new. was puzzled to know what the gentleman wanted.
 Examine my child.en's heads" exclaimed he, " what for, in the name of potatoes and hoe handles?" Then speaking t" his wife, he said, Betsy. didn't you look the child, ren's heads this morning ?'
 To be sure did," replied the tidy mat ron. "aDd didn't find a single one in 'em:"
 There do you hear that 2" said the far mer to the. phreno!ogist. My wife says she's looked the children's heads this mor- ming. and didn't find single one in 'en,. and SD think we've no occasion for your services.
 Us your wife phrenologist!'' !'' said the traveller. with some surprise.
 "I don't know whether she's freeknowl- ! rdge-ist or not" said the farmer-'' but she l has know ledge of some things can tell you 7, .. And you say she didn't fnd single organ ! in them !'' asked the phrenologist, still think 1 ing only of his own pursuits.
 A single noggin Y returned the farmer " no, ! didn't say nothing about noggin-I l said she didn't find single poker tn them"
 "Poker .'' #.G
 "5Ay-a louse. So. Mister. think can't l employ you in that business" !
 "Do you take me to be louse- catcher ," | said the indignant phrenologist.
 "Sartainly, man--vhat else !" replied the | farmer honestly. "didn'i yoo offer to exam. inc the chlidren's heads And fit wasn't to | rid them of the varmin, don't know what it { should be- .,t.,,,r
 I'm man of science" said the traveller. l elevating himself in very disniied manner l =" lnfa phrenologist. and my business is to 1 benefit mankipd--especially the rising genera 1 tion-hy informing them what they're par ticularly designed for by nature.
 How can you tell, Mister, if may ax the question ?''
 By examining their heads, and ascertain ing the develOpement ofiheir organs"
 '.Noggins, ha 2" said the farmer-'' wife, 1 will you bring the noggin here, and let the 1 gentleman examine it !"
 "You don't understand me-" said the l phrenologist. "I mean the organs of the head ! -the uherances-the-the bumps, as { some vulgar people call them. I"examioe | them at fifty cents head, where take whole family. s ass.. ss,t asys
 And what good does it do. after all !"
 "Why. tt will inform you what to make of your children-whether farmers, lawyers, doctors, mechanics, or what not" I'm at no less about that now, Mister; all my boys take to farming as naturally as l the water takesto running down hll.'' .. z" But only consider" said the phrcno!ogist, II you should happen t0 he mistaken now as to the indication of nature, and should put your children ail F the wrong employment why
