The death at Scots Bay of Joseph
Steele removes another Of the old in
habitants of Kings county. He was "a
year of age. This gentleman will be mis-
sed by travellers in that region, where
the amethyst quartz crystal, ETC., were
one of the greatest attractions. Mr..
Steele had gathered and sold "speci-
mens'' for two or three generations, and
was a great favorite with all classes.
When the Marquis of Lorne was COVER
nor general of Canada, he paid an Off
cial visit to Blomidon. On that occasion
Mr. Steele made him a present of a
beautiful amethyst that was perfect
imitation of cradle. AS there never
was any use for a real cradle in the
Lorne family, the gift created a local
smile.
