M first premiums ut every Fair where it has
been exhibited. At the South " estern Indiana
District Fair held here October, 1859, there were
but two premiums offered for cooking for
the best wood cooking stove and for the best coal
cooking stove The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, klusman Go took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums were offered. The large silver medal was
awarded to the Economist ut the New York State

In branch Of mechanical art has there

huge, shapele>s structure, almost as devoid OF
use as 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 phases
the metal is made tn assume, would astonish old
Vulcan himself. In style and finish, the improve
ment has been real, leaving nothing to be desired
on that point, but the severe competition IN price
to which they have been subjected, has deprived
them of many of the more substantial qualities

These qualities seem to be possessed most fully in
