FEMALE OTAMlEDE.-Nc announced Otncr
day the breaking up at Port Chester. N. Y. ola
'llydropathc Institute having a hording school
for young ladies attached. ~ correspondent
of the Tribune says:
There were collected in the establishment
referred to. of which DIR. r. l.. Nichols is the
proprietor, about twenty young ladies, as al
ready stated 1t seems that for sometime past,
these had been piled pretty freely with with
communications, both oral and epistoary, in
which the doctrines respecting woman and her
sexual functions, duties, and privileges as in
culcated in DR.. Nichols "Esoteric Anthropolo-
gy,' and Mr. Andrews pamphlet on Love,
Marriage and Divorce were insisted on, and
also taught by DR.. Nichols, and the practice
of which, of course, was to be expected from
consistent philosophers and public teachers.
Whether the practical application was sought
among the pupils, cannot say from personal
knowledge: there is, however, every reason to
believe that it was.
But there is no doubt as to their ceasing to
feel that it was longer a proper home for them.
One of the young ladies suddenly fed, in state
of alarm, to your city where she sought and is
understood to have found, friends on whose pro-
lection she could rely. Her sudden departure
naturally led to a buzz of inquiry as to the
cause thereof. What was previously regarded
as unstudicd and incidental, and as such gave
no serious ALARM to their uninitated minds,
now was asccrtaincd to belong to regular
scheme for the practical realization of the fa-
yorite doctrines of DR.. Nichols and his friend
Andrews. 10th as they were, to believe this
of their teachers it so forced itself upon their
minds as rcality-as a "fxed fact" to be met
as such, that all but one of the remaining num-
Der ofyoung ladies decamped. They are un-
derstood to have nearly all gone home to their
parents and friends, to tell the sad tale of their
disappointment with the doctrines and prac-
tices of those whose advertisements had induced
persons to put their daughters and wards under
the care OF the propretors.
