A SAD FATALITY.
(by telegraph.—own correspondent.) Gisbobnk, Last night. A road accident occurred early on Saturday morning, resultiug in the death of Master Vincent Pyke, son of Mr Vincent Pyke, manager of the Bank of New Zealand. Master Pyke had been in ill health for some time past, and it was found that the heat in the bedroom was very trying, so much so that a few days since he intimated his intention of getting up and openiug a window from the top. He was told never to attempt to do so, lest he should get a chill, but always to call his father. The lad, who had expressed a desire to save his father trouble, apparently got up and attempted to open the window himself, and in doing so overbalanced and fell some distance to the pavement beneath, sustaining a fracture of the skull. His father, on hear iug a noise in the room, went in and found his son had met with the mishap described, which resulted in his death.
