We copy the following from the DUBUQUE Daily
Republican Of the 22d instant:
"VERY IMPORTANT TO PURCHASERS OF LAND
WARRANTs--The well-known firm of j. M Clarke
Co., bankers of Washington city, have establish
ed branch Office in Dubuque for the sale of land
warrants, under the care of Edwin G.. Clarke, ESQ.
1t may not be unknown to our readers that the pa
rent establishment of this Office at Washington pos
sesses very unusual and quite unequalled facilities
for obtaining land warrants and that their arrange
ments are such that they do larger business in
this way than any other house in the country. The
Dubuque branch, will have all the advantage of
close and intimate connexion with the Washington
house, and can, we think, defy competition.
:" Mr.. Edwin G. Clarke is young gentleman of
sagacity and experience, and those who do business
with him may rely fully upon his uprightness and
integrity" T1
Son OF THE DEvIL.--Bishop Ives is represented
to have said in his Georgetown lecture that Martin
Luther was the son of the Devil. 1t is an old
maxim that the Devil knows his own, /" and also
that his Satanic unlike other Maesties or subjects
is bound "to get his dues" This Bishop should
certainly be regarded authority, he having trav-
ersed most of the avenues leading to the spirit
world, and guarding one Of the same in his capa-
city of priest Wonder if he has settled with his
diocese Of Devils sons for the advancement made
by them to enable him go to Rome to kiss the toe
Of him who takes the responsibility of saving all
who pay?
/" SOME THINGS DoN'r LIKE TO SEK."-There
are two certain and very important characters, az
the world now goes, who are said not to know how
to ride or take care of horse. The horse is a
noble animal, whether ridden or driven and it is a
shame for him to - maltreated. Owners of horses
in this city should look well to their employees
whether white black. He who would save his
lazy bones by riding on the top of a load of wood
or lounge along the pavement with a handful of
rocks to be projected at intervals of amusement at
the head of his horse should be discharged with
an appendagc to hisEwages. 1
The NEwspAPER.--The value of newspapers,
which are now thrown away, may be estimated by
March 10, 1776, printed by David Hall, at the new
printing Office, near the market, and containing
the freshest advices foreign and domestic 1t is
numbered 1943, which shows it to have lived long

Any newspaper, as history of the day, and da-
guerreetype of the times, is worth treasuring The
information conveyed in the Gazette is quite as

knows bat that by 1856 the Improvement in arts
and science may produce paper which may coni-

does with the Gazette. -,Ae
