N first premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited. AT the southwestern Indiana
District Fair held here October, 1859, there we're
but two premiums offered for cooking stoves-one fer
the best wood cooking stove and for the best coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST LOOKING STOVE
FoR "OOD. koelker n luslnan d Co took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums were offered. The large silver medal
aw Irded to the Economist at the New York State
Falr and the hrst premium at tho United States
Far held at Chicag@, and twelve other State aud
County Fairs in 1859. -
In branch of mechanical art has there
bsen more apparent advance than in tho man
ufacture of stoves. 1t il but few years since
the very name novelty, representing a
huge, sltapeiess structure, almost devoid of
use as ornament, These have gradually given place
to PATTERNS OF grace and utility until the varieties
our markets now present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary OF names; and the different phases
the metal ID made to assume, would astonish old
Vulcan himself. In style and finish, the improve
ment has been real, leaving nothing to be desired
on 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 stOveS--ln article of
domestic economy that has more to do with scolding
wives and crotcheiy servants than most eope i'm
agine. The public have long sought improve
ment in this article, and we believe ready pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, if il only
possesses the merits OF size, weight, convenience
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture
These qualities seem TO be possessed most fully in
the Econ" mist-a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs. TreadweIT, Perry
4 Norton, of Albany. We heard 80 much of this
stove, and it looked so much like stove intended
for use, that concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment coHvinces that the
prOprieers, in their discrimination make theJet
stoee iSJ the GC0Iid, have sneceeled We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
meTated-as the great stove OF the day--fsf in adj
vance OF anything ever attempted ia the line of
Stoves perfect ia all its appointments, and true to
its name ia durability aud the Of fuel. Among
the many cufVelIieHces attached to 1t, he

remarkable stove. There never has been, our
knowledge, any breing xtare that really
isfactory in its operation. The prUIFetOrs OF this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon brnting elieiting some valuable facts and
shifting ia the invention OF gridIron adapted to
this stoVe which has been secured 10y letters patent
aud is of the most admirable things the kind
We ever saw-broiling without smoke, aud keeping
the Goals ia constant glow. We are always glad

leciy such contribute largely to the general
good, As the above mentioned.
