Tbe Botorua correspondent of the New Zealand Herald telegraphs that a Native girl, sis years of age, named Buripete, daughter of Ihaka, fell into a boiling spring on Friday afternoon, and was fatally scalded from the breast to the feet, the shin coming off before she could be palled out of the water. The poor little creature died in the evening, and must have suffered great agony. The spring in question is situated near the Xiobster Bath, quite close to the footpath. Tbe unfortunate girl was following her mother, and is supposed to have turned round and walked backwards into the spring, which is one of those used for cooking food, but is now, of coun#, iatydid.
