RULE FOR WEARING R1Nos.--For tho
benefit of the "craft," as tho bachelors
say, we copy the following rule for
wearing rings, for the especial benefit
OF those ladies who are desirous of
wringing into the affections of young
gallants: :
'sWhen lady is not engaged she
wears ring on her first finger; if en-.
gagged, on her second; if married, on
her third; and if she intends to remain
unmarried she wears the ring on her
fourth finger. This is the rule laid down
in the latest work upon female propric-
ties that We have seen, and it appears
to be generally recognised among the
sex as one that should be scrupulously
observed. There are some young ladi,
es, however, who appear to take delight
in wearing o ring both upon the first
and the second finger, thus leaving the
admiring spectator in some perplexity
how to classify them. Others wear a
ring upon each finger; and, again three
or four little golden hoops, sparkling
with brilliants, may be seen cdging each
other on the seccnd---emblematical
probably, ofthe number Of engagements
or triulnphs they have achieved during
the period of their blooming girl-hood.

Escape and Re-capture.

ceedcd 10 Camden, and it was imagined
that he had taken leg bail.
The Columbia Telegraph of the 1st
inst. states, that "intelligence reached
this place yesterday morning that James
Brown, tho escaped Convict, had been re-
taken, and from friend who returned on

further attempts ut escape. His own
statement was that he had broken his leg
by his fall, and after crawling short dis.
tance in tho swamp had tainted, and was
probably in that state while the search
was going on. When he revived he had
crawled on through The swamp, and was
encountered by Negro who carried him
up TO the Depot. His situation was a
very pitiublc one, and it is possible that he
may moi survive his injuries, which arc
very serious. He was to have been con-
vcyed back 10 Camden in the afternoon
train Of yesterday.
