Burial of "Lady Davis." --A volunteer in one of the Kentucky regiments in Virginia, relates the following incident: "Yesterday afternoon, during a lull in the storm, quite an affecting and notable little incident occurred.

Sharp, of your city, is now at this place, and has had forty four Baltimore and Ohio Railroad cars hauled to Strasburg.
