In no branch of mechanical art has there
been more apparent advance than in the man
ufacture of stoves, 1t is but few years since
the very name was novelty, representing
huge, shapeless structure, almost devoid of
use as 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 astoliish old
Vulcan himself In style and finish, the improve
ment has been real, leaving nothing to DO 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 in reference to cook stoves-an article of
domestic economy that has more to with scoldin
wives and crotchety servants than most people i'm
agine. The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article, and we believe really to pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, if it only
possesses the merits of size, weight, convenience
durability, economy, and perfection of Manufacture
These qualities seem to be possessed fully in
the Econ mist-a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs. Tyeadwell, Perry
a. Norton, of Albany. We heard SO much OF this
stove, and il looked so much hike stove intended

ECONOMIST possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove OF the day--far 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 of fuel. Among
the many conveniences attached to 1t, may be men

knowledge, any broiling xture that really

stove have been conducting series of experiments
