Musgraye,s Gus Cooking Stoves.

A stove, heated by gas burner, that will
serve all the ordinary purposes of cook stove,
is, especially in summer, great desideratum.
1t is economical, convenient, and expeditions
in its operations. DR.. MUsGRAvE, 272 West
Sixth street, has invented, and manufactures for
this market, Gas Cooking Stove, which, after
thorough trial by many of our citizens, has
been pronounced to be most valuable inven-
ton. The stove complete, only occupies about
one cubic foot of space, and is so constructed
that by proper adjustment of the flame, by
means Of the movable bracket and gauze-
burner, it may be made to effectually perform
all the functions of an ordinary stove. A con-
centrated flame, or center burner, is used in the
operations of boiling, frying, ironing, ETC., and
O distributed heating surface is used in every
variety of cooking where it is wished to sur
round the article with heat, such as baking,
roasting, etc. single stove will do every
variety of cooking; but additional stoves, of
different sizes and patterns, may be arranged
together on a stand, not unlike common
bureau. This is one of the most novel and
valuable inventions for city residents that we
have ever examined, and having witnessed the
whole operation of cooking regular dinner,
including roast meats, bread, vegetables and
pastry, and having partaken of the same, we
are prepared to say that we believe no stove
can be made to do its work quicker, or more
satisfactory. This apparatus needs to be seen
to be thoroughly understood, and the inventor
would be pleased to have gentlemen and ladies
call at his residence, as above, where he will
exhibit his Stoves and explain them. The cost
for gas is only ~ cents per day for each
person.
Upholstery and HOuse-Furnishing.-
Upholstery in the City and Upholstery in the
Country, although similar in their results, are
widely different in the means employed for con-
Quoting the business. The latter is fundamen-
tai purely, and partakes not in the operations
of commerce. The dilgent housewife feeds
waters, and picks her own geese, sews her bed
ticks by hand, and cushions her own cold arm
chair" and the lovely manageable daughte
f may, perhaps, be busily engaged in making
sheets, etc., for two; but in the. City there i
more system, and less of the primitive. Tick
ing, Cotton, Feathers, Hair, Moss, and othe
n materials are purchased in large quantities a
one time and worked up in a wholesale way.
We were much interested yesterday, in look
ing through the establishment of Mr.. ADA
/, GELS, No. 81 Fifth street, between Walnut an
. Vine. He manufactures, and sells at whole
g sale and retail, Feather beds, Pillows, Comfort
"a Quilts, Cushions, etc., and pays particular a
: tention to Spring and Curled-hair Mattresse
- This establishment was first started abo,
4 fifteen years ago, and has been successful
y. carriedon since that time. Mr.. GELS now employ
, constantly from sixteen to twenty hands, an
# turns out yearly from $4,000 to 100000 wort
of goods in his line, which are sold in the eli
at retail, and shipped in wholesale lots to IL
a South and West. He takes jobs of furnishir
=. the Upholstery work of Hotels, Dwellings, al
d Steamboats,, and there is scarcely any thing
his line that can not be found constantly
hand at his establishment.
