Bedford.—The occurrence of cannel coal in a large bed under the blue 
limestone on Sharpler’s farm, on the north line of the township, has 
been noticed in describing the coal openings in Jefferson. In the north- 
west part of Bedford, at the coal openings of John Little and Jos. Freese, 
a greater number of coal beds are seen in one section than at any other 
locality in the county. At the base of the hill, in the road, and under a 
bed of massive sandstone not less than thirty feet thick, is the blossom 
of coal supposed to be No. 1. Fifty feet above this is John Little’s coal 
bank under a bed of blue shale, the lower layers of which are calcareous, 
and no doubt represent the blue limestone. The coal bed (No. 3) is of 
workable size, but nothing more could be ascertained of its character, the 
opening being flooded with water. In the run close by, and seventy feet 
above the base, is Jos. Freese’s coal opening under massive sandstone, of 
which twelve feet are exposed.
