cooking stoSe The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, Klusman x Go took the iiraI
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums offered. The large silver medal was
awarded to the Economist at the New York State
Fair and the first premium at the United States
Fair held at Chicago and twelve other State and
County Fairs in 1859.
In branch of mechanical has there

to patterns of grace and utility until the varieties

Vulcan himself. In style and finish, the improve

that point, but the severe competition III price,
q which they have been subjected, has deprived
them of many of the more substantial qualities
desirable. This seems especially to have beeIt
the cose in reference to cook stoves-an article of
domestic economy that has more to do with sculding
wives and crOtcheiy servants than most people i'm
sgine. The public have long sought an improve

any reasonable price for cooking stove, if it only

durability, economy and perfection of manufactur'
These qualities seem 10 be possessed most fully ia
the EcOnV mist-a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs TreadweI Perry
& Norton, of Albany. We heard much of this
stove, and it looked much like Il stove intended
for use, that we concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment convinces us that the
propreters, in their determination to make the best
in the 1CorLd, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above
merated--as the great stove OF the day-tar in adj
vance of anything attempted in the line of
stoves perfect in all its appointments, and true 20

the many conveuiences attached to It, may be men

closet, broiliDg hearth, dc, &c. The brOiling
hearth is of the most noticeable features OF this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to
knowledge, any broilng fl xtuTe that really sat
siactory i'll it's operation. The proprietors of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broiling, eliciting valuable facts and
shifting in the invention of gridirOn adapted to
this stOve which has been secured by letters PATENT
and one of the admirable things of the kind
we ever saw-brning without smoke, and keeping
the Goals in a constant glow. We are always glad
to do iustice to mechanical improvements, and
pccllly such contribute largely to the general
good the above mentioned.
