On Friday morn., about 8 o'clock, Roderick McDONALD was found in an open shed just in the rear of the saloon of Nicheal HOEY, Natick, Boston, Mass. Deceased was about 35 years of age and a native of Halifax, N.S.. It is presumed that some time during the night, while under the influence of liquor, he made his way to the shed and death resulted from the combined effect of liquor and cold.
