MRS. ESTHER CUNNING
An Appreciation by One Who Knew
 Her We'll.


 On Tuesday, the twelfth of January, one of the last representatives of that old New England life which is fast passing away, entered into the life eternal.
 Esther Stevens Cunning was born ill 1927 amid scenes far different from those of the present. day, at time when plain living and high thinking were not things of the past. She was brought up Gin the nurture and admoni tion of the Lord," and thus was laid the foundation of the character, that all who knew her, admired. Coming of good New England stock she pos sessed most sterling traits of character, being fearless ill the discharge of duty, large hearted in a marked degree, and 1ntiring in her devotion and loyalty to her friends.
 Of her it might be said, as of the late Bishop Coxe, she "could not be luke warm ill anything" she "nlust either be hot or cold" She had a fine mind and a remarkably retentive memory, often repeating whole prayers from the old English Reader" which was used as d textbook in her school days. She was strongly religious ill temperament, and great lover of nature, delighting in beautiful scenery, flowers and birds, recalling in this respect Coleridge's E lines:
 "He prayeth best who loveth best
 All things both great and small;
 For the dear God who loveth us
 He made and loveth ali" :"
 Many still remember the Dunning name in East Canaan. where old and young, rich and poor, met with unfail ing hospitality and good cheer.
 Mrs. Cunning greatly enjoyed change of scene and travel but was unable fo1 a time to gratify these tastes. In mid dle life she and her husband visited the Rocky Mountain region and the recol. lection of the trip was source of great pleasure to her, while her graphic descriptions of her experiences were most entertaining to her hearers.
 She frequently revisited the old home of her maternal grandfather. Joshua Monson on Canaan Mountain, the last time being on lovely June day, about two years ago, at which time she decorated the family graves with laurel gathered by herself in the woods near by.
 In her last days she spent much time in reading, and was deeply interested in the great questions of the day, and the wonderful achievements of the past and present centuries. She was bright and cheerful to the last, and an ex ample to those who dread old age. Tc her may justly be applied Browning's words:
 'Grow old along with me;
 The best is yet to be;
 The last of life for which the first
 was made;
 Our times are in His hand
 Who saith, "A whole planned,
 Youth shows but half; trust God
 see all, nor be afraid" o. T. G.

Bertha, the 6-year.old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Frank Roberts of Middle. town, was seriously injured Saturday night while playing about a saw mill at her fathers home. Her father left the belt running when he went into the house, and the little girl while playing about was caught in the belt and thrown against the saw. Fortu- natey the saw itself was not running or the girl would have been cut in two. A deep gash was cut in her thigh and she received a severe blow on her hend and internal injuries may develop.
