--The Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society, at its recent annual Fair, held at the Wyoming massacre ground, in September last, offered a handsome premium for the best descriptive reports of the proceedings. The Committee of Award met in Philadelphia on Wednesday and awarded the chief prize — a service of silver plate — to John G. A. Townsend, reporter of the Philadelphia Press, whose report, they say, was "marked by a high degree of literary ability and great descriptive power."
