Measles at McCoysbnrg.

The family of Orlando McDonald, of McCoysburg, has been afflicted wit! the measles quite severely recently, and five members of the family have had them. Lawrence McDonald and family, who have been living near Idaville, were visiting his parents at McCoysburg, on their way to South Dakota, and Mr. McDonald contracted the measles in Monon, where there has been quite an epidemic of them, and his wife and child took them from him and now his brother and sister both have them, hnd the brother had a bad time two days last week with the hiccoughs, which lasted continuously for 36 hours. The older brother has recovered and it is probable that a spread of the disease was prevented by a strict quarntine.
