been exhibited. At the South Western Indiana
District Fair held here October. 1853, there were
lint Two premiums offered for c1ui ing stCvtsene for
the best wood cooking stove aud for the best coal
cooking stove. Tho Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST OOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker klusnian i Co took the hrst

premiums were offered. The large silver medal was
awarded to the Economist the New York State
Fair and the first premium at the United States

In no branch of mechanical art has there
been a more apparent advance than in tne man
Hfacture of stoves. 1t is but a few years since
the very novelty, representing n
huge, shapeless structure, almost as devoid of
ornament, These nave gradually given place
to patterns of grace and utility until the varieties
markets now present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary of names and the different phases
the metal is Inadg TO assume, would astonisl old
Vulcan himself. In style and bnisl the 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 seems more especially to have been
the case in reference TO cook stovesan article of
domestic economy that has more TODD with sculdiug
wives and crOtcheiy servants than most people int
agiue. The public have long sought Improve
nent in this article, and We believe are ready topay
reasonable price for cooking stove, III it only
Possesses the merits of size weight convenience,
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture.
These qualities seem TO be possessed most fully in
the Econ nist-a new stove, perfected and brought
q Norton, of Albany. We heard much of this
stove, and it looked much like stove intended
for use, that we concluded to try them and the
result of the experiment cOnvinces that the
prOprietSrs, in their determination to make the best
atore ia the s1orld, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
nlerated-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 true to
its name in durability and the use OF fuel. Among
the many conveniences attached to it, may be men
toned large oven, with hooks arranged for slIs-
pending meats while roasting. copper water

closet, broiing hearth, dc, &c. The Broiling
hearth il one the noticeable features Of this
remarkable stove There never has been, to our
knowledge any broiling fixture that really sat
sfactory ia its operation. The proprietors of this
have been conducting series Of experiments
upon broiling, eicitng valuable facts, and
shifting In the invention of - gridiron adapted TO
this stoFe which has been secured by letters patent,
and is of the most admirable things of the Kind

the Goals in "A constant glow. We always glad
to do Justice to mechanical nII rOyements, and

good, AS the one above mentioned.
