q first premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited. At the Southwestern Indiana
District Fair, held here October, 1853, there
hut premiums offered for cooking stovesone for
the best wood cooking for the best coal
cooking stove The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, KIusman L Co took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal No other
premiums 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 i'll 1859.
IN no branch OF mechanical art has Tiers

uiacture of Stoves. IL is but few years since
the very novelty, representing a
hinge, shapeless STRUCTURE, almost As devoid OF
use as ornament these have gradually gwen place
to patterns of grace and utility; until the varieties
markets now present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary Of names; and the different phases

Vulcan himself. In style and finish the improve
ment has been real, leaving nothing TO be desired
that point, but the severe competition in price,
TO which they have been subjected, has deprived

These qualities seem TO be possessed most fully i'll
the Econo mlst-a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by MeSsrs. IreadWell, Perry
& Norton, of Albany. We heard much OF this
stove, and it looked much like stove intended

result of the experiment couvnces that the

Economist possessing all the merits above emf
merated--as the great stove OF the day-tar in adj
vance of anything ever attempted in the line Of
Stoves perfect in all its appointments and true TO
its name in durability and the use OF fuel. Among
the many conveniences attached to 1t, may be men
toned a largo oven, with hooks arranged, for
pending meats while roasting. copper water

closet, broiling hearth, DC, &c. The broiiing
hearth is of the most noticeable features Of this
remarkable stove There never has been, to
knowledge any broiling fixture that was really sat
staetory in its operation. The prOprietors of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broiIing, eciting valuable facts, and re-
St.lting ia the invention of gridron adapted to
this stove which has been secured by letters patent,
aud is one of the admirable things of the kind
We ever saw--broiling without smoke, and keeping
the Goals in a constant glow. We always glad
to do justice to mechanical inn royements, and
pecially such contribute largely to the general
good the one above mentioned.
