Arrest OF Two Human Monsters.

James ana John Calandar, father and
son, have been arrested for the murder
Of a woman and her children in Otis,
Berkshire county, Mass. The son states
that his father and himself were intend
ing to 50 on sheep-stealing excursion,
that his father went TO get quart Of
whiskey, they agreeing to meet at place
near where the murder was committed
After meeting there, they drank the
liquor, and about that time Mrs. Jone:
and her children came along in search
Of berries. Maddeued by the liquor
they drank, and made desperate by theil
brutal passions, they rayshed the IN
fortunate woman, and then rejecting up
on the certainty Of their discovery and
punishment they decided to kill the wo-
man and her children. The father agreed
TO kill Mrs Jones il James would kill the
children. The little boy and girl being
frightened by the terrible scene, had
gone away few rods and were standing
BY fence, unable to realize the awful
fate awaiting them. The narrator says
lie dashed their brains out against a
stone. while his father was engaged in
numbering their mother, and after com
pletiny his fearful task, he passed by the
uody Of the woman, and seeing that life
was not yet extinct, he raised a large
stone and dashed it upon her head
