lized contested election saw Every effort Of
the parties conceived and executed with classic
proprety. In the of the evening entered to

companions.
Charles Rolfe and the whole Of his associates are

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF DIR. CHABERr.-Dr Xa-
ver Chabert-the celebrated Fire King-the wonderful
Cholera doctor-the Curer of Consumpton-the maker
of the Chinese lotion-the sku and profoundesr
Quack of the day, has at length terminated his mortal
existence, by of those extraordinary casualties to
which the life Of profound chemists are always SUBJ
ject.
During some experiments he making in chemistry
last week. explosion took place which entirely be-
wdered his faculties and left him in condition bor-
derng the grave. He was blown into a thousand
atoms. 1t took place Wednesday last week, and
accounts state, it grew of an experiment with
phOspkoric ther-others that it produced by too
liberal indulgence in PrHssic Acid, an article which,
from its resemblance to the peach he was remarkably
fond of having about him.
AT all events the great DIR. Chabert is dead. His
beautiful riding establishment will no longer adorn
Broadway. His keen twinkling eye forever closed
and his curious foreign forever hushed Who
has not seen-who has not heard of DIR. Xavier Cha
BERT Who has not witnessed him cook himself with
piece of steak in ovenl The best cut of beef
steaks we tasted was cooked along side of Cha
bert himself in he had erected in the lecture
room of Clinton Hall. 1t was sweet delicious, and
done to turn. After this surprising exhibition Cha
bert cooked himself all over the country When the
cholera broke out in New York he returned-tacked
Doctor before his and ID. after it-set up for
"a great Medicine" and became on a sudden the most
celebrated Quack that appeared in this latitude
With the most harmless drug stufs in the world which
cost him few dollars hundred pounds he manufac-
tured pills to all disorders and persuaded the poor
people that at the sight of his big whskers and know
ing look, cholera would for its life and fever skip
like the wild gazee over the mountains of Juda. He
has made an Immense fortune by hi, medical quacke-
res and his heirs (If he has anyl will realize prod-
gious legacy.
Poor Chabertl we knew him well. How do Won
do % swat newsi" " l can cure any ting" do you
want for to say somting Alas his tongue is silenced
for ever. He is dead. Ambition has DESTROYED him.
His researches in chemistry wonderful. He has
fallen victim to his wondrods pursuits and now we
fear he in another world the unmerciful hands of
those patients of his who formerly took advice and
medicine of his prescription and preparation. If an
editorial paragraph can reach beyond that bourne
whence no traveller retusns,' land the saucy Herald
penetrates every where, ferently trust and hope
that the disemboded spirits of the tens of thousands
whom he has sent hastily of this world will treat
DIR. Xavier Chabert with the same science, skill and
mercy with which he treated them in this dirty world
below.
