MUTABnITY OF FoRTUNE.-ORe of those sudden
and sad reverses, says the Bristol (Eng.) Times,
which are sometimes experienced in commercial
communities where speculation is rife, but
which, fortunately, IRE not Of frequent occur
renee in usually steady-geing place like Bris-
tol, came to light in connection with the failure
of Messrs. Bruford, Dyre- d. Co., Of Bristol just
announced MIR. Beeston, formerly an extensive
timber merchant, obtained so large fortune by
diligence in trade and personal thrift that a
few years ago, he purchased al estate in Hert-
fordshre, producing near $4,000 year. He
had 10 family, and being Of inexpensive habit
il might we'll be conceived that such all income
would far exceed his requirements He, how
ever, was induced by the prospect of large pref
its aud still further gains, to venture few
thousands, and thus become partner in the firm
which has Just failed. 1t is stated. aud, we be-
lieve with truth, that, residing at distance, he
knew little or nothing of the transactions Of the
Bristol firm, beyond receiving periodical pay
ment which we'll satisfied him, 30 far as the per-
centage on his limited investment went. To the
bankers, however, and those doing business with
the firm, Mr.. Beeston's connection with it was
known. and no doubt enabled it to obtain q
more extensive credit. But one morning last
week, Mr. b. received sudden and startling
summons to Bristol, and arrived here only to
find that he was penniless man that the firm
with which he was connected owed mere than
quarter Of million, and all he had saved-eve-
ry shilling he had in the world, and more
would be required to make up the deficiency; /;
that, in effect, he had estate in Her tfordshire
to 90 back to. At the meeting Of the creditors
Mr.. Shaw, one of them, very feelingly alluded
to the position of Mr.. Beeston, east late in life
on the world having lost all which be had work
ed nearly half q century to attain. Mr. Beeston,
who was present, was much moved by his situa-
ton, and the refer ence to it.

Mn. EDIToR,-Knowng that you take deep
interest in everything which has for its object the
improvement Of our Territory, and especially the
moral and religious culture Of the rising genera
ton, thought you would be pleased to hear.
| as also to inform your patrons through your ex-
| ceent paper, what the friends Of education are
doing at Belle Prairie.
You are aware that the Rev. r. Aver and
Lady have had School at Belle Prairie, which
they maintained for seyera! years with zeal
worthy Of imitation by the christian world; but
owing to the increase Of years and desire to re-
tire from public life, as well as to establish the
school on foundation whereby it might be per-
petuated and made blessing to generations yer
unborn In the Summer Of 1866 corespon-
dence was opened with the writer Of this article
as to the propriety Of placing the school under
the care Of the NJ. E. Church, but some Of the
friends at Belle Prairie thought il would be more
proper for it TO be under the care Of the Congre-
gational Church, Of which Mr.. Aver and Lady
| were members, and thus the correspondence
all that pertaned to were formally rendered TO
the NJ. E. Chnrch through your humble servant.
The Conference took action upon it commission
ers were appointed the School accepted and is
now in successful operation under the superiuten-
dence Of Rev. A. J. Nelson, u teacher Of some
experience and ability.
We already feelthe need Of more room, and
it is the intention Of the friends to put up larger
building as soon as spring opens. Some of the
timber is now on the ground. The building is to
be forty fee, by sixty, two stories high.
Board Of trustees has been created, Of
which yourself is one, and liberal charter il ap-
piled for which has gone through its see ond read
ing in the House, and we have no fear but it will
pass both houses. or the location Of Belle
Prairie for our Institute Of Leaning, do not
