been exhibited. At the Southwestern Indiana
District Fair, held here October 1853, there were
but two premiums offered for cooking stovesone for
the best wood cooking stove and for the best coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST LOOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, klusman u Co took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums offered. The large silver medal was

to patterns of grace and utility until the varieties
markets now present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary of names; and the different phases

Vulcan himself In style and finish, the improve

to which they have been subjected, has deprived
them of many OF the more substantial qualities

domestic economy that has more TO do with scolding
wives and crotchety servants than most people I'M
agne. The public have long sought improve

any reasonable price for cooking stove, if it only
possesses the merits of SIZE weight, convenience,
durability economy ard perfection of man ufacturs
These qualities seem TO be possessed most fully IN
the Econ ,inist-a stove, perfected and brought
out tbs past season, by Messrs Treadwell, Perry
& Norton, of Albany. We heard 30 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 cOnYincez that the
proprletsrs, in their determination to make the best
store in the lgorfd, have succeeded We regard the
Economics possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove OF the day-far in adj
vance of anything ever attempted in the line OF
stoves perfect in all its appointments and true TO

the many conyeniences attached to It, may be men
toned largo oven, with hooks arranged, for sus-
peuding meats while roasting. A copper water

closet, broiling hearth, DC, &c, The broiling
hearth is of the noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to
knowledge, any brOiing fXture that really sat

stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broiling elciting valuable facts and re-

this stove which has been secured by letters patent

VIC ever saw-bFoiling without smoke, and keeping
the Goals in constant glow. We always glad
TO do justice to mechanical improvements, and es-
pecially such contribute largely the general
good, as the one above mentioned.
