over the banister, when he lost his balance and fel i forward,
receiving fuch injuries that he expired in a few bollix alter.
The count was aged 41 years.
" General de noon; Prussian Minister of War."
says a letter from Chalons," on his recent
visit to the camp, complimented Marshal de Mac Mahon
on the precision and rapidity of. the movements of
the troops reviewed before bun. I thank your
Excellency,' replied the
.Marshal, ' for the approbation yen
express. Many of those withers are recruits of the reserve
who have been in training only three months, but in France
that is long enough for the young soldiers to overtake their
old comrades.' "

THE COLLEGE OF ORGANISTS.—PRIZE FOR
ORGAN ComPosmox.--Io a letter to the Editor
of the "Musical Standard," a correspondent, signing him-
self R Limpus, hon. sec., and dating from Freemason's
Hail, September 5, 1864, writes as fellows : —"I am desired
by the Council of the College of Organists to ihform you
that the prizs of ten guineas offered for the best Organ
Composition has been awarded, and to request you will
kindly insert in your next issue the umpire's report, a copy
of which I enclose. The successful work posseses great
merit, and its author proves to be Mr Hiles, of Manchester.
It is a gratifying fact that the late appeal to composers for
the organ resulted in the production of several high class
works, which are remarkable for superior writing. It wou'd
be satisfactory to the Council to learn the names of those
competitors whose works have received honourable men-
tion ; but, under conditions previously issued, they ere
only permitted to break the seal of the letter bearing tho
motto of the successful candidate.
