but two premiums offered for cooking stoves-one for
the best wood cooking stove and for the best coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST OOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, Klusman q Co took the 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

In no branch of mechanical art has there
been a more apparent advance than In the man
utacture of stoves. It is but few years since
the very name was a novelty, representing
huge, shapelees structure, almost as devoid OF
use ornament, These have gradually given place
to Patterns OF grace and utility until the varieties
our markets ROW present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary of names; and the different phases
the metal is made to assume, would astOnfsh old
Vulcan himself. In style and finish, the improve
mant has been real, leaving nothing 20 be desired
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 beer
the in reference to cook stOves-an article of
domestic economy that has more to do with scoIding
wives and crotchety servants than most people i'm
agine. The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article and we believe ready pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, if it only
possesses the merits of size, weight, convenience
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture
the Econ mist-a new stove, perfected and brought
the past season, by Messrs. TreadweII, Perry
& Norton, of Albany. We heard so much of this
stove, and it looked much like stove intended
for use that concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment COuvinces that the
pruprieIsrs their determination to make the best
store IN the IgorEd, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above
merated-as the great stove OF the day-far in adj
of anything ever attempted in the line of
stoves, perfect in all its appointments and true
name in durability and the Use of fuel. Among
the many couvenences attached to 1t, may be men,

hearth is OF the most noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, TO
knowledge, any broiing xture that really sat
isfactory in s operation. The proprietors of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon bruiug, eliciting some valuable facts, and re-
suIting in the Invention of a gridiron adapted to
this stoye which has been secured by letters patent

we ever saw-broiIing without smoke, and keeping
