THE FAMILY FESTIVAL.
Ma. EDITOR:

Ma. EpToR;
We have rarely been more interested on any
occasion, than IN attendance a Family Festival
gwen by the NUMEROUS relatives in lonor Of their
venerable father, Helmont Kellogg, we'll known
TO most OF the inhabitants of Racine county
Revolutionary Veteran. The festive botrd was
supplied by his children and spread under the shade
OF some beautiful burr oaks IN the ward OF his
youngest son, ). FL. Kellogg, in the beautiful
grove OF Syivsnla. The guests consisted OF the
families OF his six Sons and one Dau ghter and
others connected by birth or marriage, winch in all
numbered hty-seven, and some particular iren Is
OF the families, swelling the number seventy
four. After all had regaled themselves from the
Widespread board the Rev. f. Washburn, who is
connected with the family by marriage, was called
upon TO address the assembly, which be did during
the space OF fifteen or twenty minutes, IN his usual
happy manner. The venerable Father, in his SD
year, next appeared IA front OF his children, grand
children, and friends. He commenced by return.
ing thanks his children for the respect they there
had manifested towards him, and then, with un-
usual huency of speech, gave brief sketch of his
life during his childhood and youth. spoke also OF
MS religious experience, and OF the mysterious
Providence OF God by which he had been led
throu Oh long life TO the present time, and spoke
with great degree of enthusiasm Of the pleasure it
gave him to and address many of his earthly
connection in his excellent western land and con-
Guided his remarks by indulging the pleasing hope
of meeting them 10 a far better land than this. -
The eldest son then made few pertinent remarks,
aud the friend, were again invited to partake OF a
most delicious dessert consisting of Wafer and
Musk melons, Peaches and PIums, all the produc-
tioAs OF their own Gardens and Nurseries. The
attention of the company was then called to listen
To al Address prepared for the occasion by young
Lady, Zone of the grand chlldren,) which you will
find enclosed in this and if it wonld not encroach
200 much upon your patience, should like 10
have it published. The whole company hen dis
persed with the mutual satisfaction OF all.
