pioneer  settlei-s  of  the  “Holland  I’urelinse.’*  On 
arriving  at  manhood,  T.  C.  Pici  kks  Bi.iulled  Law

occasionally  to  the  time  of  his  decease.  Many  or 
our  readers  will  reinembor  the  ahUlty,  Intelli¬ 
gence  and  rare  practical  sense  displayed  in  his 
writings.  A  .series  of  hiimoroue  and  sareastic  ar¬ 
ticles  over  Iho  signature  of  John  Plowhandle 
attracted  much  attention,  many  of  them  being 
widely  copied,  and  gave  Mr.  P.  (as  Major  Plow- 
handle)  no  little  notoriety  and  popularity. 
Mr.  PETERS  was  for  many  years  an  active 
member  and  olhcer  of  the  N.  Y.  .State  Ag.  Society, 
and  Its  President  In  1865.  He  held  many  oPlcos  of 
trust  and  honor.  He  was  twice  (In  1852  and  I868j 
elected  to  the  Assembly  from  Genosee  Co.,  and  on

Personally,  Mr.  P.  was  a  most  agreeable  man, 
his  rare  intelligence  and  amiable  disposition  ren¬ 
dering  blm  a  favorlto  In  social  elroles.  'J’hough  he 
had  reached  t  he  full  age  fillotted  to  mortals,  tils 
decease  Is  a  loss  to  the  community,  and  will  he  la¬ 
mented  by  thousands  of  personal  friends  .and  ad¬
