them of mauy of the more substantial qualities
desirable. This seems more especially TO have been
the case in reference to cook stoVes-an article of
domestic economy that has more to do with seoding

Possesses the merits Of size, weight, convenience,
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture.

its name in durability and the of fuel. Among
the many cohveniences attached to 1t, may be
toned large oven, with hooks arranged, for
pending meats while roasting. A copper
tank holding from II to rs gallons--warming
closet, broiling hearth, de-, &c. The broiling
hearth is of the noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, TO our
know ledge, any broiling hxture that really

pecially such contribute largely to the general
good, as the one above men toned.
