The Frost King seems to Have Come
to Stay.

The Frost King seems to Have Come
to Stay.
The cold weather of the past few days
confirms the theory of the signal service
bureau for the remarkable weather so
far vouchsafed this season. For the
first time in four months storm has
gone out to sea south of latitude forty
degrees. Fifty of them, one after an
other. have gone up through Canada
and off across the ocean. This. says
General Greedy. has caused the warm air
to come from the south like a blanket.
When the storm goes south of latitude
forty degrees the cold air rushes down
upon this section, and we have genuine
winter weather. The storm of last week
originated in the Gulf of Mexico, and
moved slowly northeast. Every state
that it has passed over has had cold
weather It cold weather does not re-
main. there is. of course. an end to the
signal service theory for the warm Win
ter. If it does there will be room for
speculation as to the cause of storms
taking such an unexpected path.

THIS Is OFFICIAL.
j. Howard Whittemore Ia Not In the
Race for Governor.

race LOT GOVERNOR.
The New Haven Palladium to-day
says it is able to state officially that J.
Howard Whittemore of Naugatuck has
not authorized the use of his name az a
possible republican candidate for the
governOrship, nor is he n candidate. Mr.
Whittemore. like other leading men in
his party. is business man. and to that
he gives his attention. Naugatuck has
found him n valuable citizen, public
library and many improv cments being
evidence of his public spirit and loyalty
to home interests. He is deservedly
popular through the Naugatuck valley
where he is we'll known, and Connecti-
cut is familiar with the name and worth
of the great manufacturer. Such men
are never free from the possibilities of
political lightning. but Mr. Whittemore's
avowal that he is not in the gubernato-
rial race should entitle him to the free
dom from political mment which he
desires.

Death of Hon. Jas. E. Stewart.

Hon. Jas. Z. Stewart died at bis home
in this place on Friday night last at the
advanced age Of &c years. He had heen
feeble for several months prior to his death !
AID his departure was not unexpected.
IN fact, 1t was known that his affection
was incurabe and be himself was well
aware Of it. He bore his sufferings with
great lortitude and grappled with the
last enemy, as he had done all others,
without trepidation.
Judge Stewart practiced law in Mar
tlnsburg in his young manhood and was
a partner in that profession with Hon.
Chas J. Faulkner, whom many of our
people recollect as he represented the
district to which this county was attach
ed in the Lower House of Congress. He
was a delegate from Berkely county in
the Legislature before the war for sever
al terms, and many Of the statutes now
in or Code received his sanction and
approval while serving in that capacity.
He was a member of the State COnven-
ton Of lS50-51 and took an active part
in the important proceedings of that
body. FOr some years before the war, lie
filed an important and responsible posi-
ton in the Pension Department at WASH
ington and was appointed Superintendent
of the armory at Harper's Ferry, by Hon.
Jno. b. Floyd, Secretary of War, post
ton which he was prevented from filling
by the breaking out of active bOstilities,
He was offered lucrative positions in
Washington by President Lincoln through
his law partner, but Obeying the voice OF
duty as he heard it. refused and cast his
lot with his native state, choosing rather
70 suffer afiiiction with his own people,
than to enjoy high hOnors at the expense
of honest convictions of right. lie came
to this county in 1862 and since that
time has resided here He hal consider
able property which was destroyed dur
ing the war and no again entered the
legal profession and most Of the bar here
have felt the keen cut Of Of his Damascus
blade. He was soon made Judge Of the
County Court Of this county, which posi-
ton ho leld for twelve years, discharsing
the dutlcs Of ,Lat, ~ he had done of all
other positions, with honesty, fidelity and
marked ability. During his service upon
the bench, his decision was reversed in
only one instance by the appellate TIL
bunal, which is proof OF his judicial quail
lfcatlons and his learning in the law.
As citizen he was patriotic, as a hus-
band no was devoted, as father he was
true, as ueighbor he was kind and gen
circus, as Christian he exempliiied his
profession by godly walk and upright
conversation and lived aud died an
rhonest man" which is the nobest work
