District Fair, held here October 1859, there were
but two premiums offered for cooking stoves-one for
the best wood cooking stove, and for the best coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST

FOR WOOD Rocker, Klusman Il Co took the first

premiums offered. The large silver medal was
awarded to the Economist at the New York Statc
F"ir and the nrst@preminIn at tho United States

In no branch of mechanical art has there
been more apparent advance than in
uiacture of stoves 1t is but IA few years since
the very name was novelty, representing a
huge, shaielcss structure almost devoid of
Use hs ornament, These lave gradually given place
to patterns Uf grace and utility until the varieties
our markets now present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary OF names and the different phases
the metal is made to assume would astonish old
Vulcan himself. Ia style and finish, the improve
nent has been real, leaving nothing to be desired
that point but the com petition in price
to which they have been subjected has deprived
them of many of the more substantial qualities
desirable. This seems more especially to have been
the case in reference to cook stcves-an article of
domestic economy that has more to do with scOlding
wives and crotchety servants than most people i'm
agfne. The public have long sought improve
ment in this article, aud We believe ready to pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove il it only
possesses the merits of size, wsight convenience,
durability economy, and perfection of man uacture
These qualities seem 10 DO possessed most fully in
the Econ Imlst-a new stove, perfected and brought
cut the past season, by Messrs. TreadwelI, Perry
Il Norton, OF A Ibany. We heard much of this
stove, and it looked much like "a stove intended
for Wse, that concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment c0uVinces that tho
prupretsTs, in their determination to make the be
store ia he ap0rid, have succeeded We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above
mtrated-as the great stove OF the day-ar in adj
vance of anything ever attempted in the line Of
stoves, perfect ia all its appointments and true
its name in durability and the of fuel. Among
the many conNenienCes attached 10 it, may be
toned large oven, with hooks arranged, for sls-
pending meats while roasting. a copper water
tank, holding from IL to 70 gIlons-warming

remarkable stove The &c never has been, to our
knowledge, any broilihg Xture that really

stove have been conduct ng series of experiments
upon broiling, elicting ome valuable facts, and re-
Suliing in the invention OF a gridiron adapted to
this stove, which has been secured by letters pten
and is Of the most admirable things OF the kind
we ever siw-brUiling without smoke, and keeping
the Goals in constant glow. We always glad
