The following is ft copy of a circular sent by tho Stafford Literary Institute to the various libraries of the colony : "Tho past two years has witnessed a sovore struggle for oxistenoo on the part of the different, literary institutes in tho colony. First, the Government subsidy was swept away, Thon tho various county councils, themselves'hampered for want of funds, cut down their donations to euch an extent as to be almost useless. The result has been, in our part of the colony at least, that the institutes can, with difficulty, keep their doors open, and the majority are deeply in debt. The stoppage of the Government subsidies being almost without notice, engagements wero entered into that would not otherwise have, been thought of had the fact of such stoppage been notified earlier, Tho time has now come for united actiou. We would therefore respectfully request that you communicate with your representative in Parliament, and endeavor to obtain his support to a motiou whioh the members for Kmnara and Hokitika have promised to move, asking tho Government to grant ono year's subsidy to tho different literary institutions in the colony, as such short notice was given of the withdrawal of Government support, A meoting of the Committoe ap> pointed by. the Masterton Volunteer Fire Brigado and gentlemen who were willing to assist in arranging for the annual plain and fancy dress ball of the Brigado wos bold at the Club Hotel, Masterton, last night.
