been exhibited. At the Southwestern Indiana
District Fair, held here October, 1859, there were

the very name was a novelty, representing G
huge, shapeless structure, almost as devoid ol
use az 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 phasea
the metal is made to assume, would sHtonish OLD
Vulcan himself In style and finish, tho improve
ment 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 especially to have beeIt
the in reference to cook stoyes-an article of
domestic economy that has more TO do with scoding
wives and crotcheIy servants than most people inn
egine. The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article, and believe ready pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, IL it only
possesses the merits of size, weight, convenience,
durability economy, and perfection Of manufacture.
These qualities seem 10 be possessed most fully Ga
the Econo Inist-a stove, perfected and brought
i Norton, Of Albany, We heard much of this
stove, and it looked so much like stove intended
for use, that we concluded TO try them and tha
result of the experiment conyinces us that the
propreters in their dissemination 20 make the bssf

Economist possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove OF the day-far In sd-
vance of anything ever attempted In the line OF
stoves, perfect in all it's appointments and true

hearth is of the noticeable features OF this
remarkable stove. There never has beeni 20 our
knowledge, any broiing xture that was really sAt-
isfBctory in its operation The proprietors OF thl7
stove have been conducting series Of experiments
upon broug elicitIng some vsluable facts, ana re-
