In no branch of mechanical art has there
been n more apparent advance than IN the man
utacture OF stoves. 1t Is but IA lew years since
the very name was novelty, representing IA
huge, shapeless structure, almost rs devoid OF
ornament, These have gradually given place
10 satterus of grace and utility until the varieties
our markets present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary Of names; and the different phases
the metal is made to assume, would astonsh old
Vulcan himself. In style and finish the improve
mcnt has been real, leaving nothing to bo desired
on that point, but the competition in price,
10 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 10 cook stoves-'n article OF
domestic economy that has more To do with sc"liuG
wives and crotcheiy servants than most people i'm
agine. The public have long sought an improve
in this article, and believe ready pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, ii il only
Possesses the merits of size, weight, convenience,
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture.
These qualities seem to be possessed most fully III
the Econ, mist-a new stove perfected and brought
i Norton, of Albany. We heard much of this
stove, and it looked 80 much like stove intended
for t,se that We concluded to try Them and the
result of the experiment cOnyinces rs that the
propret-rs, in their determination to make the Jea
store tie Irorli, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
mcr:ttcd-as the great stove OF the day-tar ia adj
vance of anything ever attempted in the line of
stoves perfect in all its appointments, aud true to
its in durability and the use of fuel. Among
the many cOnVenicnCes attached to 1t, may be men
toned IA large oven, with hooks arranged for
pending meats while roasting. A copper water
tank, holding from II to % gallOns-warmiag

hearth of the noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to
knowledge, any brOiling Fl XtuTe that really sat
isactory in its operation. The proprictors Of this
stove have been conducting a series Of experiments
upon brOiling, elicting valuable facts, aud
sultng in the invention of gridron adapted to
this stove which has been secured by letters patent
and is of the most admirable things of the kind
s,tw-bToiling without smoke, and keeping
the Goals ia "A constant glow. We always glad
do justice to mechanical inn Iovements, and
pecally such contribute 50 largely to the general
good, as the one above mentioned.
