A short extract is displayed below for you

Rifles were in demand, and had always been much used by the
pioneers. These were supplied by Samuel Baum and George Miller ;
the son of the latter succeeded him and still continues the business.
Of public functionaries, we had but {q.'N, and their removals were
i&v and far between. In the language of an eminent statesman it
might then have been truly said: "Few die and none resign.'
Judge Seth Chapman was long the presiding judge of our courts.
He was a man of moderate legal attainments, yet he made a good
presiding officer. He was assisted by his associates, Judges Montgomery
and Rupert. George A. Frick was prothonotary, having
been appointed to that office by Governor Snyder in 1813.
William Wilson, Rudolph Sechler and Joseph Prutzman were the
justices of the peace : Andrew McReynolds, sheriff; Daniel Cameron,
constable. Mr. Sechler was also register and recorder. Janies
Longhead, a dignified yet popular gentleman of English' origin, was
postmaster, and held the office for the long term of fourteen years,
twice as long as any other, with one exception. The office was first
established in 1806, Judge Montgomery being the first one appointed,
and held his commission from President Jefferson, and filled the office
for seven years.
