been exhibited. At the Southwestern Indiana
District Fair, held here October 1859, there were
but tive premiums offered for cooking stoVes-One for
the best wood cooking and for the best coal
co.,king stove The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOX WOOD. Rocker, Klusman d Co. took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums offered. The large silver medal was
awarded 10 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 1853.
In no branch of mechanical art has there
baen a apparent advance than in the man
ufacture Of stoves It is hut a few years since
the very novelty, representing q
hinge, shapeless structure, almost devoid OF
use az ornament, These have gradually given place
TO patterns of grace and utility until the varieties
oar markets present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary Of names; and the different phases
the metal is made to assume, would astonlsh old
Vulcan himself. In style 'gnd finish, the improve
Drnt has been real, leaving nothing to DO 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
desirable. This seems more especially to have be@I,
the case in reference 10 cook stOves-an article Of
domestic economy that has more TO do with scolding
wives and crotchety servants than most people i'm
ngine. The public have long sought an improve
inent in this article, and we believe are ready to paS
any reasonable price for cooking stove u 1t only

These qualities seem to be possessed most July ia
ia. EcOnomist-a stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs. Treadwell, Perry
& Norton, Of Albany. We heard 80 much Of this
stove and il looked much like n stove intended
for use tlnt We concluded to try them, and tho
result of the experiment cOnvinoes us that the
proprIetars in their determination to make the best

Economist as possessing all the merits above emu
ulerated-as the great stove OF the day-far in ad-
vance Of anything attempted in the line Of
stoves perfect in all its appointments, and true 70
its name in durability and the use of fuel. Among
the many conVeuiences attached to 1t, msy be mem
toned large oven, with hooks arranged, for sus-
pending meats while roasting. copper water
tank, holding from u 10 Is gallons--wsrming
closet, broiling hearth, DC, &c. The broiling
hearth is Of the most noticeable features OF this
remarkable stove. There never has been, 10 our
knowledge, any broiiHg zture that was really sat

stove have been conductinga series OF experiments
upon broilinZ, ecitng valuable facts, ana re-

this stove, which has been secured by letters patent
and is one Of the most admirable things Of the kind
