In mo- brunch Of mechanical art has there
bsen a more apparent advance than In the man
ufacture Of stoves. II ia but few years einos
the very name was novelty, representing 8
huge, shapeless structure, almost devoid CT
ornament, These have gradually given pIacg
TO Patterns Of grace and utility until the varietiea
orr markets now present nave almost eAhaaAted
the vocabulary Of names; and tho different phases
the metal is made tn assume, would astonish ola
Vulcan himself In style and finish, the improve
meIft has been real, leaving nothing to be desired
on that point but the severe petition IN price,
TO which they have been subjected, has deprived
them of many Of the more substantiaI qualities
desirable. This seems more especially to have bee,
the case in reference TO cook stoves-an article OF
domestic economy that has more to do with scolding
wives and crOtchety servants than most people I'm
agiue The public have long sought an improve
ent in this Article, and we believe ready opay
any reasonable price for n cooking stove, If It only
possesses the merits Of size weight convenience,
durability economy, and perfection OF manufacture.
These qualities seem to be possessed most fully Ia
out the past season, by Messrs. Troadwell, Perry
& Norton, of Albany. Nc heard 30 much of tAis
stove, and it looked 50 much Ike a stove Intended
for use, that We concluded 70 try them, and the
result Of the experiment conylncea that the
propretsrs, in their determination to mako the best
Store in the loorld, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist as possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove Of the day-faT in ad~
vance of anything eyer attempted in the line OF
stoves perfect in all its appon taents, and true 90
its name in durability aud the use Of fuel. Among
the many conveniences attached TO II, may be men
toned largo oven, with hooks arranged, for sus-
pending meats while roasting a copper wStet
tank, holding from II to % gellons-warminR
closet, broiliDg hearth, &cF &c. The broillng
hearth is of the most noticeable features OF this
remarkable stove. There never has beeni 20 ouT
knowledge, any hroiling ture that |aa really sat
