been exhibited. At the South-W estern Indiana
District Fair, held here October, 1859, there were
but two premiums offered for cooking stovesone for
tile best wood cooking stove for the best coal
cooking stove. The EconomiS. took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST OOKTNG STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, Klusman d Co took tho first
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums were offered. The large silver medal was
Fair and the first premium at the United States
Fair held at Chicago. and twelve other State and
County Fairs in 1859. ..
In no branch of mechanical art has there
been more apparent advance than in the
ufacture of stoves II Is but few years since
the very name was a novelty, representing a
huge, shapeless structure, almost devoid of
ornament, These have gradually given place
TO patterns OF grace and 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 to be desired
that point, but the severe competition i'll 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 in reference 70 cook stOves-an article of
domestic economy that has TO do with scolding
wives and crotchety servants than mott people i'm
agine. The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article, and We believe are ready to pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, if il only
possesses the merits of size, weight convenience,
durability, economy, and perfection of mRnuac ture
These 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 much of this
stove and it looked SO much like a stove intended
for use that concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment conyinces that the
proprietsrs in their determination TO make the best
store in the goTId, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above
merated-as the great stove of the day--far in adj
vance of anything attempted in the line OF
stoves, perfect in all its appointments, and
its name In durability and tho Use of fuel. Among
the many eonveniences attached to it, may be men
toned largo oven with hooks arranged, for sus-
pending meats while roasting. copper wafer

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 xture that really
isfactory in its operation. The propretors Of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broiling, elciting valuable facts and re-
shifting i'll the invention of gridiron adapted to
this stove which has been secured by letters patent
and is of the most admirable things the kind

the Goals ia a constant glow. We are always glad
to do justice to mechanical imI royements and es-
pecially such contribute largely the general
good, as the one above mentioned.
