District Fair, held here October 1859, there we're
but two premiums offered for coOing stoEes-one 70
the best wood cooking stove for the best coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST LOOKING STOVEl
FOR WOOD. Rocker, KIusman & Co took the flrst
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums offered. The large silver medal was

Fair held at Chicago, and twelve Othor State and
County Fairs I'm 1859.
In no branch Of mechanical art has there
been a more apparent advance than in the man
ufacture of stoves. II Is but a few years since
the very name a novelty, representing a
huge, shaPeless structure, almost as devoid OF
use az ornament, These have gradually given placo
to patterns Of grace and utility until the varieties
our markets present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary Of names; and the different phases
the metal Is made to assume, would astonish Cidl
Vulcan himself. In style and hnish the improve
meut has been real leaving nothing to be desired
that point, but the severe competition 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 in reference to cook stoyes-an article of
domestic economy that has to do with soolding
wives and crotcheiy servants than most people i'm
agiae. The public have long sought improve
men in this article and we believe are ready to pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, If It only

durability, economy, and perfection OF anufacturo
These qualities seem to be possessed most fully ia
the EcOno mist-a new stove perfected and brought
ont the past season, by Messrs. Treadwell, Perry
& Norton, Of Albany. We heard 30 much Of this

for use, that we concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment conyincea us that the
