Parson, the notorious emigrant labor contractor, of Northampton, was before the superior oourt yesterday, charged with cruelly treating Vincent Zabrienoj- tis, whom he bad brought from New York to hire out os a farm laborer, be ing Parson’s chief business to supply this kind of help. Parsons's victim was the first witness and talked through an in terpreter. He told of his drive with Parsons from Northampton to Holyoke on a cold winter's day, stockingless and thinly clad, with a heavy ox chain pad locked twice around liis bare ankle by Parsons, and fastened to the wagon seat that Tie might not escape. Holyoke city officials testified to finding the boy half frozen and crying in Parsons's wagon, with the thermometer 14 degrees below freezing point. Parsons was forced to unchain his victim, and the boy was cared for by the police. Indigant citi zens threatened to lynch Parsons, and it was feared the attempt would be made. Parsons testified that lie caused the boy to come from Castle Garden and hired him out. This was on November 4th, and ten days later the boy reappear ed at Northampton and was turned over to Parsons, who claimed he was about sending the boy to New Y’ork w hen ar rested at Holyoke. He chained him : o he would not escape. His admitted (hat rhe boy was thinly clad, but said he had given him a horse blanket in which to keep warm.

THAT FAMOUS LUMPKIN BELL. A Chicago Dime Museum Manager After It—Its History. Chicago. Dec. 29.—[SpeciaL]—A man ager of a dime museum in this city has made a liberal offer for the purchase ot lease of an old and unused bell at Lump kin, Ga. If his proposition is accepted he will bring it here immediately and exhibit it; but should the owners of the bell refuse to part with it he has enter prise enough to palm off on his patrons a substitute for it as genuine. The Geor gia bell has an interesting history. It has engraved upon it the year 1600—the year it was cast. For a number of years it tolled the hour for congregations in a convent in the Netherlands. It was af terward carried to Lisbon, and from there ;o Madrid, and was in the tower of a monastery in that city when Napo leon invaded the territory, taking every thing as h i pushed his forcesover plains and ud mountain rides, an l all bells were being taken and recast into cannon. The owners of this bell took it .down from its tower and shipped it to New Yoik, where it remained for many years, until purchased by a Lumpkin man for his church. It has been used so many years that it has lost its tone, GLADSTONE'S BIRTHDAY. Congratulations from Various Porto of Eng land—TLe Irish Hembera.

Middletown, N. Y., Dec. 28.—Early Sunday morning aloud explosion awoke the inhabitants of Roscoe hamlet, in Sul livan county. Mrs. Mary J. Ileineman. wife of Frank Heineman, rushed into the street in her night gown and said the explosion occurred in her house. Her face was burned and blackened by powder. An investigation showed that a can of powder had exploded in the sit ting room, adjoining tho sleeping apart ment, blowing out the windows, wreck ing toe furniture, and loosening the par titions. The can contained twenty-five pounds, and was placed in the house with the evident intention of destroying the inmates. I^uis S. Schuster lived with the Heinemans, Mrs. Heineman be ing his adopted daughter. Twenty-five vears ago Schuster w as convicted of pass ing counterfeit money, and was sentenc ed to seven years’ imprisonment. When he had served five years he was pardon ed by President Grant and returned home. It is thought vhat he was hired not to divulge the names of hia confed erates. and that they now hope to get rid of him lest ho tell the secret. Neither Schuster nor Heineman was injured. A Ciu-d Flaying Y. M. C. A. Boston, Dec. 29.—The Charlestown Young Men’s Christian Association has been on its last legs for some time, and last night a meeting was held to decide its fate. There was a good deal of plain talk, and finally an Episcopal clergyman proposed introducing card playing as an attraction. This suggestion was emphat ically squelched. Then a Baptist minis ter asserted that the only way to keep the association alive was to drop the evangelical test, which is applied to all candidates for admission, and accept as members any young men of good and regnlarstanding in the community. This raided a howl from the strictly orthodox members present, and it was as.-erted that the Christian associations all over the country would boycott tnis branch if any such comb'mtion was formed. It was finally voted to stick to the evangel ical doctrine at any cost, and if need be die with colors living. CAPTAIN SIBBERLEE SAYS WAS QUIET.

New York, Dc-c. 29.—[Special.]—The steamer Prinz Mauritz arrived from Port-au-Prince ^o-day, bringing the first mail for several weeks. Chief Officer Sibberlee said: “Every thing was quiet in Port-au-Prince while we were there. The people seem to be satisfied with tho election of Legitime as president of the republic. When we entered Port-au-Prince, we saw the Hay- tien Republic covered with American flags. A iiumbir of men from the United States w; r ship Galena were on board. On the da/ we left, ihe 22d, President Legitime was gi .en a reception on board the Galena. Mr. Sibberlee said lie learn ed there was no bi mbardmtnt of Cape Hayiien. hut ail northern points were blockaded.” The s.ory told by Comte Delta H. Ze- r.tguinal and other passengers i n the Prin ! llnnrito represents tho present sit uation in 1-iayti in an entirely dtoereut light. While th- steamer was at Jacmel constant rioting was in progress, no bus iness was transacted and disorder and lawlessness reigned supreme. On De- cemaer 2tnh, the day of sailing, two bands, composed of adherents of the op posing leaders, Legitime and Hyppolyte, met in the street, and firing at once began and was warmly kept up. The men were uniformed, but with no recognized leaders. A frame home was set on fire, and the flames spread unchecked throughout the town. The fire was still in progress when the steam er sailed, and the destiuction of the town was imminent. At Port-au.-P.ince, where the s‘- next touched, the situation was mot as bad. Toe mob was supreme : d no authority recognized, all business . at a stand-still. EXCLUSIVE CUEEDUOOB. A Roqaert to tho Spirit*. Boston. Dec. 29. —Gen.

Vgsko's nose was broken, and he fell stunned to toe floor. In the mean tone the jailer’s attendants oame to his rescue and McCaffrey was locked in his cell.
