POTOMAC TCNNEL.-The Last Brick.-On the
18th day of August, 1871, Mr.. Thomas Rutter,
contractor for building the tunnel of the Balti-
more and Potomac Railroad, had laid the first
brick in that stupendous undertaking. The
work has been finished more rapidly than ever
known before in this country, and yesterday
afternoon, shortly after O'Clock, the last brick
of the arch was laid and the keystone fitted to
its place. The whole length OF the tunnel Is
40 feet, and Is 900 900 bricks have been used
in its construction, besides the immense amount
of stone for the foundations and for backing
up the walls. The arch at Fulton street was
completed within two minutes of the time when
the keystone was placed in the face of the arch
at Pennsylvania avenue. The completion OF
the tunnel was the occasion of much rejoicing
among the wor kmen, aad flag was raised to
celebrate the event. The tracks are now laid
in the tunnel from its opening at Cathedral
street and North avenue up to Druid Hill ave-
nue., aud only some three hundred feet of the
remainder of the tunnel are unballasted, and
that will be completed within a very few DAYS
Except the Hoosic, the Baltimore and Potomac
tunnel is the largest in the United States. The
first named Is about i've miles long, and was
begun in lS52, and is not yet nearly completed.

Notwithstanding the fact that the peach crop
is badly injured in this imnediate section. so
much so that scarcely fourth of a crop will be
gathered, yet reports from different parts of the
Peninsula indicate that unless unforeseen frosts
or storms should injure the trees or the young
fruit, there will be abundant crop in those sec

everywhere loaded with blossoms, and the pros
pect now is that the crop this year will be larger
than il was last year. HOr is the gratifying
prospect confined to the peaches. Strawberries,
blackberries, and all small fruits come in for
their full share of the pleasure thus being az
