nallv the secretary of the Board of Public
Works, but Chief-Clerk DeWitt really did
tbc work until the office of Secretary of
the B< ard of Public Work# was cheated
distinct and separate from the office
of So ood Auditor, and wan ' filled by the
election of Colonel W. R. Dnrskard. Upon
tne ?pfH?lntmeutof Governor Floyd as Secre
tory of War Colonel Drinkard became hi*
chief clerk, and Colonel DeWitt was elected
to tbe office of Secret&rv of the Board of
Public Works. In this position be remained,
drawing the greater part of his modest in
come for clerical duties performed In the
Seeoud Auditor's office until October, 1871,
when Colonel W. D. Coleman was elected
Secretary of tbe Board of Public Work" and
Secretary of the Board of Commls?ionera of

ryships.
Last summer he was for several months
laboriously engaged with Mr. JohnO. Steger
in the examination of tbe book* and accounts
of the basement offices. Hid services here
were invaluable.
OTKKR TRAITS.
No man knew more about the public debt
or internal Improvements of tbe Common
wealth, and no one had a more retentive
memory, and few had a Itrger store of gene
ral inform uion. He remembered almost
every notable occurrence in tbe capitol, or
eveu in tbe State, within tbe pant thirty or
thirty-five years, and was consulted almost
daily by officers and employ di ol tbe various
departments.
Ccbucl iMWItt bad slso given much at
tention to the study, of natural history, and
was continually experimenting aod inves
tigating with a microscoi>e which he re
garded a< one ol the largest and finest? and
it was ouo of the costliest? in the State.
Some weeks ago Colonel DeWitt remarked
to a gentlein tn at tbe capitol : '* I have lived
too long." This be repeated on numerous
occasl >u?. He at other times said : " When
- .? ,k . r.fivt* bfoaehi to -'o Knocked
on ;oe bead.' *' VVuy, mkioor'ttUiii ?
friend, u ther< Is no sense in tnat, aud ii
there were you are soi six'y-fivc." "No,
not Hixty-five, but close to u,"be respoDdetl.
auch w r> the gloomioeM of bt? thoughts*
His inind wu> gradually leaving its mooriu^s
and drifting out upon a shoreless sea. His
family, freeing his couditlon, begged him to
go to tbe country aud rest rora few weeks,
hoping that fre?h air and country scenery, a
restored appetite, and cessation from labor
would relieve him. Tickets had actually
been secured, and were ?>on to have been
used bad not it been for the lamentable oc
currence of yesterday.
His last official act was done on Monday,
when, with much difficulty, owing to tbe
weakness of bis mind, be made an entry
concerning some sterling bonds funded or
exchanged for R. H. Maury & Co.
Colonel DeWitt was sober aod quiet in
disposition ; was attentive to business, though
not very active, and was careful of tbe feel
ings and reputations of oihers. But few of
bis most intimate acquaintances cm say tbey
ever beard him speak unkindly or disparag
ingly of any one. He leaves a widow
(daughter of th*i late Colonel Edmond Fon
taine, of the Central railroad,) and three
cbildreo? one soi? and two daughters? and
a reputatiou unstained by tbe breath of sus
picion.

The physician in charge of tbe city ambu
lance, and not the driver, did not deem the
case of tbe lady who was taken sick on Fif

came uuder the ambulance regolations, and
therefore he declined to take her home.
The Pic-Nic at Shirley.? The pie-nic of
St. John's Church Sunday school, Colonel J.
D. Whitehead superintendent, at Shirley, on
Tuesday, deserves to be remembered as one
among the pleasantest affairs of the kind that
has taken place in this vicinity for years.
The officers, teachers, and scholars of tbe
Sunday school, and numerous friend', got
aboard the little steamer Cockade City at
Iiocketts, aDd at 8 o'clock left tbe wharf.
They arrived at Shirley a little after 1 o'clock.
Under the abundant shade-trees there dinner
was spread, and the children had a delightful
romp, white the older people enjoyed them
selves catching the cool breezes from the
rivep, in delighlful flirtations, or in other
equally agreeable and profitable ways. A
number of darkies of Bermuda Hundreds,
with commendable enterprise, upon seeing
the steamer land at Shirley, came over with
their salUboats, and found young men to
hire tbem at reasonable rates. At this point
thete is nearly always a good wind, and boats
can usually be bad at very iow rates. The
party left Shirley at 4 o'clock, and caught the
storm between Drewry's Bluff and the city,
but it did tbem no harm, and at 9 o'clock the
boat reached her wharf, lauding every pas
senger in safety. Owing to the careful man
agement and courteous attentions of Captain
Geogbegan and bis officers there was not
the slightest accident or least occurrence to
mar the perfect erjoyment of any one pre
sent.
Personal.? Rev. R. Furman, D. P., of
South Carolina, distinguished as a lecturer
and poet, arrived in the city yesterday.
For s lie JLadies.
