NEWPORT NEWS


DEATH AND BURIAL-Some three or four days ago a soldier by the name of Walker, who deserted from the Newport Barracks between two and three years ago, returned to the Barracks and gave himself up.  He was lodged in the guard house and during the first night after his return, as we are informed, he fell down a flight of stairs and injured himself so seriously that on Friday last he died from the effects.

He was buried yesterday afternoon by his comrades with the usual ceremonies attendant upon such occasions.
