During the' 'whole of this dissertation, Mr.
I "Ramblers," and the M Salmagundies," are lot-
0rir in flhn rftnlinn thudi nf twlir vartraan
. I sipping the ambrosial dews, listening to the mu
1 sic of the clouds, and holding high converse with
. : Apollo and tbe Klne. Dut, sirs, we were brought
, down a little from these flights of fancy, by he
following observations of our President :
, ! M pcntlemen," said he M having determined to
write, we must now settle two or three other
small points i 1st. What shall we write about ?
3d. How often shall we publish I and 3d. Under
what name shall our productions go forth to tbe
world."
. On the first point, it was soon determined that
we should write about every thing that comes in
our way, as in that case we'could nol fail; in
turn, of hitting the taste of our readers, however
nice and fastidious, In the next place, for a very
good reason, we resolved not to publish more
than once a week ; and not to be silent more
than a month at a stretch, lest our readers might
forget us. But to settle the third question, was
far more perplexing.- To choose a name, that is
to transmit our labors to posterity ; through
wnich our readers must look at us, as astrono
mers through telescopes view the Heavens, was
-no trifling piece of business We spent several
good long hours before we could agree upon the,
title Jto be placed over our lucubrations. But be
fore we give you a sketch of oir difficulties upon
this trying subject, you must be informed, that
in. our club there are men of different pursuits
and callings in life x One of our members be
longs to the learned profelsion of the law -another
to the science of medicine ; a third is a middle
ged bachelor, of easy fortune, who, having ro
business of his own to attend to, is willing to look
a little fter the concerns of other folks. Besides
these, wejiaye the- Belle-Censor, the Beau-Censor,
and the man of fashion but no -Dandy.
The question was first put to Mr. Blickletter :
WhatTname shall" we assume V After a few
momeftisfndeepoltatlonTe
' opinion that cur lnTe"hduld be" "IlotcA-Pot"
which, he said, was a term in law, that meant

without question, some of our productions will

will not always be upon the same subject, but
touch upon every thing, and sometimes upon.....
U-nothing. But in despite of the authority
my Lord Littleton, the name of the pudding was
aet aside, upon the ground that it was -inelegant
in its euphony ; and besides that, it savoured too
much . of epicuiianisin. The President then
nmihig to another coi ner of "fhroom, said,
''.Well, Dr. Gaiety -CortcxV you have before now
Blackletter's stomach seemed wreaking with a
resistless nausea ' The. fact is he- was but re
cently convalescent From a' severe spell of the
bluet, and the mere mention of phytic gave him
the qualm. The Doctor was constrained to give
over. the pill-box ; but he proposed, in its stead,
"TAe Pettlef' for, said he, if wc have to bray
fools in a mortar," what instrument i more ne
cessary than a pestle 1 It was all in vainthe
man of laws would consent to nothing that either
sounded, tasted, or smelt (to use his own words)
medicamentally. He would not even hear of
u Vaujc Mecum," or the u NvarmacopTU "
Our Bachelor of easy fortune wus next desired
to make a suggestion: Without a moment's
hesitation, he proposed that the title of our work
should be " OUa J'odriJa ;" for, sid he, a word
of like meaning was given to a similar publication
that appeared some rears "ago in the famous citv
of New-York. It was borrowed from the culi
nary science of the Spaniards, and why not again
resort to the same source ? Besides, he thought
there was as much meaning, and certainly as
much music in the sound of " Olla 1'odrida," as
in the word Salmagundi. The term itself re
minded one of good euting ; and he was sure the
most of our readers would not dislike it on that
account. 1 he President here gave a sly wink
and remarked, that if it meant got d drinking, the
young fellows about town would like it still bet
ter.
Mr. Tradewell, our mercantile associate, also
proposed half a dozen of names ; among which
were " The Ledger," " The Desk," &c. ; but
they were all rejected, on the score of smelling
too strong of the counter. The difficult and in
vidious task of cogtiomination, (as the Doctor
calls it?) was now imposed upon the President ;
who, after an abundance of consideration, decided
that the labors of the Club should go out to the
"world under the name of " I he Club" and this
title was unanimously adopted Here ended our
perplexities upon this all important preliminary ;
and here, also, ends the first number of HIE
CLUB.

From several statements which we have
noticed, of the degree of heat in different
places in the Northern States, the present
season, we think it must have been much
greater than what we have experienced, as
yet. Alth ugh there are several thermome
ters in thi villager-yet we-believe-no ther-
mometncal journal has been kept, whereby
the average heat, so far, can be ascertained,
nor the greatest height to which the mercury
has risi n we should judge, however, it has
not been higher than 93 or 94. The
following journal of the degree of heat
for four successive duys, at Salem, (Mass.)
extracted from the Gazette, of the 2.1d ulti
mo, would seem to lead to the paradoxical
conclusion, that it is warmer at the north than
ut Uie south c--
