When sufficient fragments have been collected and pasted together the whole will be despatched to those residents in the Isle of Man who have never heard of _The Times_. _From_ "_The Wiggleswick Weekly_":-- IMPORTANT NOTICE. From Monday next the price of _The Wiggleswick Weekly_ (with which is incorporated _The Bindleton Advertiser_ and _The Swashborough Gazette_) will be 17_s._ 6_d._ per copy.
