We had the pleasure of a call yesterday from Rev. J. B. Tombes, President of Liberty Female College. We are glad to learn that the school under his charge is in a flourishing condition, and has prospects of increased usefulness and prosperity in the future. The people of Clay county are fortunate in the matter of schools, and their example should not be lost upon other localities.
Chaplain Hamilton, of the 2d Colorado, has shown us a copy of the Bible 227 years old. This rare old book was purchased by the Chaplain in Central City, Colorado.

Upon the title page is the following in print: LONDON: Robert Baker, Printer to the King's most excellent Majestie, and by the assignees of John Bill, 1637.
