  THE PRISONERS AT RICHMOND.-
  The friends of Lieut. Green of the fifteenth regiment have received a letter from him, dated at Richmond, December 5th, in which he writes, among other things, of the condition and deprivations of his company. What he says of his own men will doubtless apply to all, whose wants the generous and humane people of Worcester county should not have left unsupplied. Blankets and clothing of verious kinds have been sent to some of the prisoners, and have arrived safely; and there is little risk of loss if the goods are properly packed and directed. The letter says:-
  "The twenty four men of my company need such things more than I do, and I hope something has been done already towards supplying them. They, of course, have not much money, and are confined in a large ware room without fire, unless that has been supplied them within a few days. They are furnished with course cotton enough to make a narrow bed for each man, and straw to fill them with, and with a thin cotton comforter each. The weather for a few days has been quite severe, so that the snow, of which there was a slight fall a few days ago, hardly melts in the sun at noon. A splendid supply arrived yesterday for the Fitchburg company, and you have no idea how delighted they were with it."

He returned to Massachusetts in 1859, was admitted to the Worcester County bar less than a year later, and settled in North Brookfield.
  At the outbreak of the Civil War he was the first from the town to enlist, and aided in raising the 15th Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers, of which he was commissioned First Lieutenant, August 1, 1861. With other officers he was taken prisoner at the battle of Ball's Bluff, Va., October 21, 1861, and held at Richmond until February 2, 1862, when he was released on parole. He was commissioned Captain in the 15th Regiment, June 17, 1862, but resigned on October 23 following. Returning to his law practice, Mr. Greene remained in North Brookfield until May 1, 1868, when he removed to Worcester. He became associated with Hon. John D Baldwin in the editorship of the Worcester Spy, and continued as leading editorial writer of that paper for twenty-three years.
  In 1891 he was appointed Postmaster at Worcester and during his service of over ten years conducted the office entirely without partisanship and with an efficiency which was signally recognized at Washington and throughout the Post Office department. He was twice President of the Board of Directors of the Worcester Free Public Library, and a member of the council of the American Antiquarian Society. His life was one of singular unselfishness.
  Mr. Greene died on November 8, 1902, of softening of the brain, at Plainfield, N. J., while on a visit to his sister, the wife of Jeremiah Evarts Tracy, Esq., (LL.B. Yale 1857). He had nearly completed his 68th year.

  Reunion of the 15th Regiment
  Wednesday will mark the gathering at Worcester of the survivors of that grand old fighting regiment, the 15th Massachusetts, who will meet in reunion in Worcester, to commemorate the 42d anniversary of the battle of Ball's Bluff, their first baptism of blood, shot, and shell.
  For 37 years the regimental association has had its annual reunion in Worcester on the date commemorating the fight at Ball's Bluff. All the original field officers have joined the great bivouac on the other side except Gen. John W. Kimball of Fitchburg, who went out as the first major and won a glorious record for bravery and ability.
  The reunion Wednesday will include the business meeting at the board of trade rooms, Worcester, at 10.30 o'clock, followed by the annual dinner at Grand Army hall at 12 o'clock, which is furnished by the Women's relief corps. A rousing reunion is expected.
  Death has depleted the ranks of many prominent members since the last reunion, including three former captains, Capt. C. H. Eager; Capt. J. M. Studley, Capt. J. Evarts Green; William J. Woodbury, who constructed the granite shaft of the Antietam monument, Wilder S. Holbrook and Joseph Pecot.

  Think Stranger Met Foul Play
  Levi C. Greenleaf, of Chicago, Dies in Hospital and Police Scent Murder
  Levi C. Greenleaf, a Chicago live stock dealer, was found lying unconscious on the Bristol pike, near the North Penn stock yards, yesterday morning.
  He died shortly after being admitted to the Episcopal Hospital.
  So mysterious are the circumstances surrounding the case that the police are inclined to think Greenleaf was the victim of foul play.
  Special policemen are now making an investigation.
  Greenleaf was found by a patrolman of the Front and Westmoreland streets station. At the Episcopal Hospital it was discovered that he was suffering from a hemorrhage of the brain
  The Chicago man remained unconscious until death came, despite the efforts of the surgeons to revive him for at least a sufficient time to allow himm to tell his story.
  It is said that greenleaf was a man of considerable means. He was on a business visit to Philadelphia and has no relatives in this city. He was identified by means of a card which he carried in his pocket. He bore all the marks of refinement, was well dressed, and as there was a considerable sum of money found upon the body the police believe that his assailants were frightened off before the could rob their victim.
  It is the theory of the police that Greenleaf was struck a blow woth some heave instrument, as the side of the head was slightly bruised. Both the police and the hospital attaches are reticent concerning the case.
  The neighborhood in which the man was found is a lonely one. It is near the New York division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and tramps in large numbers make the section their meeting place.
  Greenleaf is said to have been visiting stock dealers in the eastern section of the county in the interest of large Chicago meat interests.
