The Pioneer Reunion.

The annual reunion of the Oregon
Pioneers, held at Salem Fair Grounds
last week, was largely attended
and was a most enjoyable affair.
Mr.. Elwood Evans, of Olympia, de-
livered the annual address. Speech
es were also made by S. Stats, of
Polk county, Mrs. Duniway, and
others.
We take the following extract
from the Standards report of Mr..
Stats address;
"Mr. Stats gave very graphic
and entertaining account of the emf
grafton of As. There were sixty-one
wagons in his company, and three
hundred souls all told. Captain IT,
Vault and John Waymire were in
charge of the company. He gave an
entertaining description of a wedding
during the long journey, the parties
being Mr.. George Shat1er and a Miss
Packwood; also, of an Indian Chief
falling in love with q fair young lady
of the company, and offering her
parents twenty horses for her, and
describing in a very amusing way
how he himself became tho noble
red mans rival, and the successful
suitor. He said Ralph Wilcox killed
the buffalo, and then spoke of the re-
cent sad fate of Mr.. Wilcox and con-
cluded his remarks of praise by re-
calling Judge Deady's tribute to the
memory of the deceased. TOCaptain
Charles Bennett he gave credit as at
the first discoverer Of gold in CALI
fornia: that he saw the first nugget
picked up by Bennett, which Was
pronoucsd to be gold; after enduring
many harsiships for SIX months they
were most kindly received by Nc
Ianghlin who aided them in every

LONDON, Wednesday, May 80, 1877
The TGmeSs correspondent at Vienna telegraphs as
follows: The statement that the Turks have con-
sented to allow navigation of the Danube as far as
Gira is at least premature. In spite of the ener-
getc representations of this Government the Turk
ish commander at Ada Kaesi still bars the way with
his cannon"
There is doubtless an excuse for the Turks, as
navigation as far as Gra of advantage only to the
Scryians and Roumanians but still il scarcely seems
wise to rsk serious difference with Austria, and it
is hoped better counsels will prevail"
