A Celebration.
--The Woodstock (Va.) Tenth Legion says:--
We understand that the patriotic citizens residing at Columbia Furnace celebrated Washington's birth-day in quite a spirited manner.
A cannon, weighing over eleven hundred pounds, was cast by order of the worthy proprietor of the furnace, for the occasion.
It was substantially mounted upon the fore wheels of a wagon, and charged with the best XXX Dupout.
Six salutes were fired, the charges being increased at each fire; and the seventh proved too heavy for Columbia's metal, and the cannon and the wagon were blown to everlasting smash.
No one was injured by the explosion of the cannon.
