N first premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited. At the South Western Indiana
District Fair, held here October, 1859, there were
but two premiums offered for cooking stoves-one for
the best wood cooking and for the coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, Klusman IL Co took tho first
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums were offered. The large silver medal was
awarded to 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 1859.
In branch of mechanical art has there
been a more apparent advance than in the man

the very name was a novelty, representing a
huge, shaPeless structure, almost devoid of
ornament These have gradually given pIace
to patterns Of grace aud utility until the varieties
our markets now present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary OF names; and the different phases
the metal is made to assume, would astonish old
Vulcan himself. In style and finish, the improve
ment has been real, leaving nothing &c 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 been
the case in reference to cook stoves-an article Of
domestic economy that has moro to do with scoIding
wives and crotchely servants than most people i'm
agine. The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article, and we believe ready nav
any reasonable price for cooking stove, if it only
possesses the merits of size, weight, convenience,
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture
There qualities seem TO be possessed most fully in
the Econ"mist-a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by messrs. Treadwell, Perry
& Norton, of Albany. We heard SO much of this
stove and it looked so much like q stove intended
for use that concluded TO try them, and the
result of the experiment convinces us that the
proDrieters in their determination make the best
store in the aCorId, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove OF the day-far in adj
vance of anything attempted in the lice OF
stoves perfect in all its appointments, and to
its name in durability and the use of fuel. Among
the many cOnveniences attached to it, may be
toned large oven, with hooks arranged, for
pending meats while roasting. copper water
tank, holding from II to % gallons-warming
closet broiling hearth, DC, &C. The broiling
hearth is of the most noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to our
knowledge, any broiling dXture that really sat
slactory in its operation The proprietors of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broillng, eliciting some valuable facts and
