In no branch Of mechanical art has theirs

utnetare Of stuves. 1t is but few years since
the very name novelty, representing
huge, shnp"I'as structure, almost devoid of
ornament, These have gradually given place
/" 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 is made to assume, would astonish old
Vulcan himself In style aud finish, the improve
ment has been real, leaving nothing to DO desired
on that point but the severe competition in price
10 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 stoyesan article of
domestic economy that has do with sculding
wives and crotcheay servants than most people i'm
agine. The public have long sought improve
ment in this article and believe ready pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove if it only
possesses tile merits of size, weight, convenience,
durability economy, and perfection of manufacture
These qualities seem 10 be possessed most fully in
the Econ ,mist-a new stove perfected an broIIrht
& Norton, of Albany. We heard much of this
stove, and it looked much like stove intended
for use, that concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment coBvinces us that the
propretsrs in their termination make the best
store la The tcorld have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove OF the day--far in ad-
vance of anything ever attempted in the line of
stoves, perfect in all its appointments and to
its DaIne III durability and the of fuel. Among
the many conYenences attached to it, may be men
toned largo oven, with hooks arranged, for sus-
pending meats while roasting. 4 copper water

closet, broiling hearth, dc, &c. The brOiling
hearth is of the most noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to our
knowledge, any broiling fixture that really sat

stove have been conducting Il series of experiments
upon broiling, elicting valuable facts, and
suiting in the invention OF gridirOn adapted to
this stove which has been secured by letters patent
aud is of the admirable things of the kind
We ever saw-broiling without smoke, and keeping
the GOALS ia constant glow. We always glad |
TO do Justice to mechanical imI rovenens, and
pecillly such contribute largely to the general
good, as the one above mentioned.
