Improved Kitchen Stove.—We yesterday visited the Agricultural Foundry, 594 Market-street, for the purpose of examining the improved method of burning Schuylkill and Lehigh coal, in a common tin plate stove. The improvement consists of a moveable box or furnace adapted to the length of the stove and the size of the door, put into the stove, and so fitted and arranged, as to be drawn out or pushed back with the greatest ease. It may be made of clay, cast or sheet iron, and be supplied with moveable plates, to render the bulk and capacity of the fire to the smallest dimensions at which combustion can be continued.

The advantages of this contrivance are, first, the saving of fuel, the importance of which need not be pointed out.

Small or half price coal will burn exceedingly well; and it is believed, that a ton of such coal, the whole expense of which, will not exceed four dollars, will keep one fire during the winter.

Another advantage is the convenience of the oven in a tin-plate stove, which will be always in proper order for baking; and by drawing out the furnace a part of the way, you have a fire for boiling and broiling. The addition does not at all disqualify the stove for burning wood.

The expense will be from two to four dollars.

The patentees, Messrs D. Paynter and P. Williams state, that they will be prepared in a day or two to supply orders to any amount.—Penn. Gazette.
