Peculiar Death at Stratford.
Information has bten received in Hawera of the death near Stratford of a girl named Jessie Bonner, under very peculiar circumstances. She was, we hear, a girl of about nine years of age, and was living with an uncle, Mr. Blair. She was sent to another Mr. Blair's, a few chains off, for a pot. The Mr. Blair by whom she was sent, thinking she was a long time away, went to see where she was, and discovered her quite dead, with her neck under a window sash. The people to whose bause she was sent were away at church, and the supposition is that she was getting in or out of the window, when the sash came down.
