Vulcan him elf. In style and finish, the improve
mrnt has been real leaving nothing to be desired
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 stoyes-an article of
domestic economy that has more to do with scoding
wives and crotchety servants than most people i'm
agine. The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article, and believe ready to pay
amy reasonable price for a cooking stove if it only
possesses the merits of size, weight, convenience
durability, economy, and perfection of manufactnre.
These qualities seem to be possessed most fully in
the Econ niist-a new stove, perfected and brought

stove, and it looked 50 much like stove intended
for use, that concluded to try them, and the

Economist as possessing all the merits above

stoves, perfect in all its appointments, and true to

the many conveniences attached TO it, may be mem

hearth is of the most noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to our
knowledge, any broing fl xture that was really sat

stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broling, eliciting valuabe facts, aud

this stovs which has been secured by letters patent,
and one of the most admirable things of the kind

the Goals in constant glow. We are always glad
to do Justice to mechanical improvements, and es-

good, the one above mentioned
