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 EconOmi list took the FL RSr
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST LOOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, Klusman 4 Co took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums offered. The large silver medal was

uincinre of STOVES II Il but few years since
the very halne was novelty, representing
huge, shapelt-s structure, almost Us devoid OF
use as ornament, These have gradually given place
to patterns of grace aud 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 astonisi old
Fnlean himself. In style aud finish, tho improve
nent has been real, leaving nothing to DO desired
that point, but the severe competition in price,
to which they have been subjected, has deprived
them of ma ny of tho more substantial qualities
desirable. This seems more especially to have been
the in reference to cook stoves--an article of
domestic economy that has more to do with scOldig
wives and crOtcheiY servants than most people i'm
agine. The public have long sought an improve
in his article and believe ready to pay
any reasonable price for q cooking stove ii it 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 tho past season, by Messrs. Treadweli, Perry
& Norton, OF Albany We heard SO much Of this
stove, and it looked much like stove intended
for use, that we concluded to try them, aud the
result of the experiment cohvinCes that the
propretsrs in their discrimination to make the best
store IN The iCOIid have succeeded. We regard the
Economist MS possessing all the merits above
merated-as the great stove OF the day-flr in adj
vance Of anything ever attempted in the line Of !
stoves, perfect in all its appointments, and true
Its name III durability and the use Of fnel. Among
the many convenenccs attached to il, may be
toned large oven, with hooks arranged for sus- !
pending meats while roasting. copper water
tank, holding from II 10 p gallons-warming /
closet, broiling hearth, DC, &c. The broiling 1
hearth is of the most noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to oIlr
knowledge any broiling fixture that was really sat
isfactory in its operation. Tile prUprietor of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broiiing, eliciting valuable facts, aud
sulting in the Invention of a Gridiron adapted to |
tins stove, which has been secured by letters patent,
and is OF the admirable things of the kind
We ever saw--broiling without SMOKE and keeping |
the Goals in a constant glow. We always glad /

peciilly such contribute SO largely to the general
good, rs the one above mentioned.
