"I ail' aware that there is some diffi culty in the discussion of this subject, arising from the various phases which it assumes-4,rom. the 116[14 dance in the a parlor of , professor of religion, under' the eye of the head_ of the family to the gayest and most brilliant ball, and even the masquerade 'dance.

It might be difficult to' prove it a sin in itself-for a few - youu , . persons to amuse themselveS an hour or two by play ing at cards. I We know, however, that it. is an attractive and exciting amusement ; that Wben once our children have become pleased withlit, they are likely to yield to the' suggestion that,. by risking a few cents, additional interest will be imparted to the game ; and - we know that, haVing' gone - taus far; they are fairly introduced to the gaming table, and that s they are likely enough ti become regular gamblers. We proceed, thCrefore, upon the adage, "Resist the beginning of evil," or rather -we arc guided by this word of inspiration: "Abstain from all appearance of evil.'.! "-Oa=ths same general, principle we op pose dancing, as now conducted. Suppose we admit that there is,,,nothin , 'iniproper in the family dance hi your:, z parlor ; we know perfectly well that this - is out' the columencemeot of the difficulty.

Mere a pure maim and a good.lawyer, arid an excel lentneighbor and citizen, social friendly, honora ble and confiding. In my intercourse with , very many acquiintances of Mr. Peet, members of the ber In distant pieces, who_ knew him well in the county from which, he came when he came here, always had a a - favorable and friendly inquiry as to the condition and prospects of Mr. Peet. I learn frqin his old neighbors and friends, and his breth ren of the Wayne County Bar, that he-was held in very high repute among them. Ile was entitled to their esteem. Sir. Peet was constitutionally atid's physically ,somewhat feeble man ;let he had Wit endurance and vitality *bleb seemed to lit him for a large amount of mental labor. In the trial of his causes he brought more then ordinary care end attention, to their preparation and their management ; and to the counsel who were associated with him, and with whom he' was called up to consult, he was kind and:meal; while - to those opposed to hint'he was courteous and forbearing. In the Hiatt:lt-swami In court frequently a little,, feeling is manifested, during the heat of the trial, and it is so natural for counsel to feel as their clients feel during e the pro• grass of &ease, that they do so without any effort on their part: but Mr. Peet was one of those that never allowed any feeling to leave the court-room with him ; whenever he waamet on the street, or at his eMee, everything of that kind was treated as though it never had occurred. .Such men are not trio common In our pet:fetish:re and when we lose them we lose, a bright landmark in the line of the profesilon.

My relations with him were always pleasant, and I can truthfully say that had I always pursued the advice he gave me, I would have been saved a good deal of-trouble In many ot the business relations of life.

May it .please the Conit concur entirely with the many able remarks that have been made by toy brethren of the bar respecting the life and charac ter of our deceased brother, Henry l'eet. I remem ber well the first time I ever saw Mr. Peet. It was Noun wrier he came to our town, when I WAS quitoa young boy. From his aged appearance 1 fermi:A ttie Impression that Instead of being in the pritgo of lifc, as he was at that time, he was agranilfath-' er in wane doreastic circle. and, your honor welt knovire that he was sometimes affectionately and humorously called by viome of fits intimate-friends, " Father Peet." 1 learned to know him well as a boy-by reason of the nearness of his omen to that of dity fathers• and I saw him almost daily - 40r some time. I also daily learned to know-hint better, and during the term of my study I songht-hls advice many time-, and whiles-I:calving mans encourages mums I also received valuable instruction which .. will; I know, be of advantage to me during the whole of my professional life. He taught me d rem. trines I shall never forget, and that - high order Of Integrity which It would be well fociall *the mem bers of our profession to cultivate to the best of their ability. "- Mr. Peet ma reviyer. was care rut and painstaking. and, as has been remarked, alwils fleshed plans of ' keeping his clients away from litigation Instead of encouraging them to follow It. lie aletays objected commencing 'an aetrais 'unless he .felt a•sured that he would be suereasful, and no matter wheth erlds clients were:rich or whether they were _pone he gave-them them the- same advice. and though that, adviee was often contrary to the interests of his clients yet he never hesitated to tell them the right course which he deemed it WON proper for them to pursue. I remember or an Incident he once related to me of quite a promlneut man in this county who became offended because heendeavorecl to persuade hint from corn:nearing a certain actintt; but notwithstanding the dernands of taliclients, Mr. Peereletertnined that hO would oppose-the snit lug Instituted because he was fully Impressed with the certainty of failure; and yet by' reeson of the decide•l stand ho took in this case an remota ' tren of dishonor was cast upon him by this client, who knew not the incorruptible integrity of Henry . Peet. fireman who ever enjoyed as - sequaintauce with -Mr. Peet-ever doubted his !weer and_ his in tegrity. He was a man, who, an has beet: well said, hated hypocrisy in every form. Ile frowned upon It and discountenanced it, and now. thilegh he has departed from us he has left behind Mot the mark of hishonored services on earth which will always be bright, hod which will always shine with lustre. If we. when we are through wall our professional career at thieliar• and ran leave nehlnd ns a mem ory as Henry Peet has left, then can it be said of us, as It can be truly said of hlin, "well done good and faithful servant." ILES! Atlas - 01 , OVEIiToN, Esq. • I did not intend to say a single word here this evening, and yot I fear to remain silent at thlettme might be perhaps misconstrued. if - I could pay any tribute to the memory of Mr. Peet worthy of 'the man, I would Willingly do It. It was not my good_ fortune to be associated with him at the bar in the active pursuits (dour profession. For when I re: stinted the practice at this bar, Mr; b'eet's health was such that he was Just about retiring from the practice of his profession. I recollect very well the first term, nom two years since, when I cstue back to the ;bar, and his laborious efforts In a long pro tracted trial even when his physical energies were' giving away and disease was preying-upon film, and it was evident-to all who sat around hIM - that he was making an effart, a tnaniy effort affatnet this disease which afterward prostrated him and kept him away forever afterward If Lrecollect right, with ens single exCeptlon from appearing here at the bar as an advocate. How many years Mr. Peet struggled with his disease and how manftilly ho fought against it with the thought of those who were dear to ii m. always urging him on in his pro fessien. How for many mouths: even when most men less diseased and less' prostrated would have succumbed. How all this he passed bravely through Is known to every Member of thlti bar. , • And then as to the character of Mr. Peet. The , words which have been spoken hero at this time were not mere words of enloglnun I cannot call to mini a single expression here In retard to the character of Mr. Peet, that'any rne. who knew him would not sanction. • .. As has been said here, and reiterated by almost every one that has spoken, he was a man of spot less Integrity. That character' he bore from the very first time be'-carte into .this enteuanity, and So far as we khow, and so fares htsreputatlab where ho had formerly lived followed him, he al ways bore the same character. It was not that kind of honesty arising front mere , policy, beranse honesty was the best policy." It was something within. -It was only acting out the 'pure...nature of 'the man, only bringing to tad surface what was bid deep lu - his heart. ;It was no hypocritical pretense oF honesty arid integrity. It.was in the man, and he only acted ont'his naturawhen he showed to the world his spotless . Integrity. --tile wore his heart opini his sleeve." Ail could see it. No one that did see it ever after ceased to regard him with. the re spect which hetieserved. While in the teethe pursuits of 'our profession, little antagonisms always spring up more . or less between pembera, of - the :bark in their crulitcts hertibettire tho cdati f ."Widle these things might have occurred with Mr. Peet as they will with all of us yet, aahas been said here, he never left this room with a feeling of .hatred or revenge towards a single opponent. Ile went front this bar with the kindest feelings towards all its members, We saw bht little of him doting his sickness. The . nature of his disease was each tliom his ni.r. Tons prostratibn !fiat he could -not boar at- times even the Tacos of his most' intimate and dearest friends, and yet your honor and others saw him at , times. it was my own pilvilege to see -him on tvr6 or three diffeintit, tWeasloire, anti when I did he v niet me lo the same genial and treastutt way he,watrae cuitomed to meet Ins on the street and , editelthert., ,And he always to the last, as fares I knowdustaln ed that sante kindly relation toward all with whoE, he came - in contact,.

W. T, DAVies. May - Itplease the - court, I do net come here this evening with any 'prepared speech, Prot me to speak of the life of Mr. Peet as conneeted - with the bar of Bradford county, Would -,be to rehearse nearly the whole of my own experience. Asteiti t ied to the bar myself in Sept. 1861 ; the saulnief of 1862 leaving the county and rettindog herd about the time Mr. Peet game, a the spring of MS, and becoming actively , engaged with him in the trial of cases and general practice-of in this court, and fir a period of four years a law partner at his, engaged with him In marl) all the cases, S halm assisted in tryink either with him or against knowing him intimately as a aloud and oar (=a llies being on - intimate social terms. so the:: tog the lost (knees' years to blot out. any bodiless, , social and family relations with- hire, would be to blot out a large portion of my owaddeduringthat time. And.heee let me state, that I nevordxstett totems through yeartillied with more pleasure and real happiness and prosperity, than - the years I hare spent with Henry Peet. He himself being full opo and always cheerfuhaa good conversation* let, full of wit and humor ;he who couldcall Mul friend and companion held a prize that but few es— Mr. \Peet was in manYrrespeets a .ntinestable Ulan.

When he dually sat down to prepare It, he had It all in his Multi and when the original draft was suit mined it taquirft hardly any change, and it is to rapidlyw upon your statute books, asthma pentied by him In one sitting. , It was owing to this faculty he possemed .of , eon. eetitrating ail Ms mind' upon 'the sitbleet before Win. by which the whole plan of his argument was formed in his mind before be uttered a word, that he was so exceedingly ready.. Thus Wilms in many of his MOM tie would form the whole plan of acam easefully before sitting down to Its trial. This would enable him to prepare his argument se that he would make but few if anyehanges lle had.a wonderthimmdiness to the midst of an exciting trial in preparing offers of evidence. It is not amiss to say that none of us were so apt or quick- to lake in the ,wtiole situations, and the offer would be, quickly prepared and irould,cover all .contlngen. cies. The same was true in making objections . to offers of evidence. . He, like moot of us, struggled in the early part of his life with poverty, and np to the period of time' when he dente to this county, ho .barely subsisted In his prOfeselou: 'Yet when •he arrived here he was In the best sense of the Word a good lawyer.

He who can faith fully !longue them ill, and give a conscientious answer to the various different phases thuapro.sent ed, and answer them correctly, not correctly then conscientiously, is'a prize indeed. Our dear, departed brother came as near to the standard of a tine lawyer as any man I Bare ever known. • • •On account of my contraption with him for some thing like four year, in most of the cases I have as sisted fn the trial of, I have beeu with. him on tire Salue side.
