This morn. about 7 o'clock the dead body of Noah ROCHFORD was found in the rear of Peter KEENAN's residence on Bridge St. Rochford, who had lately been working at shoemaking at Point de Bute (West. Co.) was in Moncton all day yesterday. He had been drinking and in the morn. about 11 o'clock was seen with a pint bottle nearly full of some dark coloured liquor. At about 7 o'clock he came up Main St. and tried to gain admittance to the boarding house kept by Mrs. GULLAN, corner of Main and Foundry streets. Of his subsequent movements we are not informed, but a supposition is that he proceeded along Foundry and Bridge streets to where his body was found this morn; intending to cross the river and spend the night with Mr. PURRINTON, shoemaker, with whom he had once worked at the trade. The place where the dead body was found had been tramped around for quite a distance by the fellow, who evidently became bewildered and benumbed by the cold, lay down to die. Deceased is a brother of the founder and former editor (now deceased about a year) of 'Rochford's Daily', Charlottetown, P.E.I. and is said to have had a good education. Coroner J. Wortman, Esq. will hold an inquest on the body at 2 o'clock p.m., Friday's 'Moncton Times'
