DONAGHADEE
Donaghadee is a market town and
seaport in County Down, fourteen miles from Belfast, and six from
Newtownards by the road, situated on the shore of the Irish Channel.
It
is the nearest port to Scotland, being twenty-one miles from Portpatrick
or Portlogan, the passage to which places can be made in one hour and a
half by steam vessels. There is a beautiful harbour and lighthouse built
by Government for steam packets. Donaghadee possesses all the advantages connected with a
pleasant bathing place, having a fine beach, good lodging houses, baths,
and other requisites for the comfort and accommodation of visitors, with
a railway from Belfast, Downpatrick and Ballynahinch. Petty Sessions are
held in the Court House on the first and third Thursday of every month.

structure, with a lofty tower at its northern end, which was built by
the late Captain De La Cherois and Daniel De La Cherois, Esq. It is kept
in good repair, and contains a number of marble monuments. The other
places of worship are two churches for Presbyterians, a Wesleyan
Methodist Chapel, and a Roman Catholic Chapel. At the Northern end of
the town is a Danish rath - a mound of considerable height, and
surmounted by a tower and fortress in miniature, from the summit of
which is a beautiful prospect of the town and surrounding country, with
a distant view of the Scotch Coast and Copeland Isles is commanded.

DONEGAL
Donegal, anciently
"Tyrconnell," is a pretty seaport town, about seventeen miles
from Stranorlar Railway Station, and fourteen from Ballyshannon Railway
Station, with fine approaches from all sides ; situated at the mouth
of the Eske - a river abounding with fish of every kind - and on a bay
of the same name. Donegal boasts of two splendid ruins - one, a well
preserved castle, in whose ivy clad walls once dwelt
"The Lords of
Tyrconnell, Our Brave Chiefs O'Donnell."
It is seated on the banks
of the River Eske, as is also the old Abbey, founded for the Franciscan
Friars, in 1474, by Nuola O'Connor, wife of Hugh Roe O'Donnell. It is
filled with dead of all creeds - perhaps of many nations - lying side by
side under the now broken arches. It is said that a subterraneous
passage, about a quarter of a mile in length, connects the castle of the
O'Donnells with the old abbey. A very fine sulphureous spa, within five
minutes walk of the town, boasts the waters equal to those of
Harrowgate, while every convenience is offered by the proprietor - Mr.
James Graham - in the way of constant attendance ; and baths at a few
minutes' notice, for which purpose two beautiful marble baths have been
procured from Italy. In the Diamond is situated the Arran Arms (under
the patronage of the Earl of Arran, to whom the town belongs), one of
the best hotels in Ulster. There is also another hotel, the Commercial
and Family - R. Smullen, proprietor. They afford every accommodation,
whether to visitors of the highest rank, passing tourists, or commercial
travellers ; post horses and vehicles of all kinds are to be had on the
premises. There are four principal Churches - the Roman Catholic, the
Protestant, the Presbyterian, and the Methodist, besides chapels and
minor places of worship for different denominations ; while four or five
prettily built schools, both male and female, under the superintendence
of the National Board, are well attended. Quarter Sessions are held
every three months in a neat Courthouse, to which a bridewell is
attached. The Constabulary and Coastguards have stations here ; and a
fair is held every second Friday of the month ; the day for the weekly
market being Saturday. Drumcliffe, a public promenade, one half of which
is sheltered by trees on both sides, while the other half, over hanging
the bay, and supplied with fancy rustic seats, offers not only the
greatest variety of scenery, but a pleasant walk in all seasons. Many
fine demesnes, belonging to the surrounding gentry, add to the beauty of
the country, the most remarkable amongst these being - The Hall, the
pretty residence of Lord Francis Conyngham ; the Castle and grounds of
Lough Eske, the property of Thomas Brooke, Esq.; and St. Ernen's the
seat of John Hamilton, Esq. There are good grain and flax markets in the
town. The population is about 1,560.

DOWNPATRICK
Downpatrick, is a market town and
a Parliamentary borough, the seat of Down Diocese, and the Assizes and
principal town in County Down, eighteen miles S.E. from Belfast. The
County Court House and the County Jail are connected by an underground
passage. Quarter Sessions are held four times a year, viz.:- In March,
June, October and December ; and Petty Sessions on the first Thursday in the month.
The County Down Lunatic Asylum, completed in
1869, at a cost of upwards of £60,000, capable of accommodating 350
inmates, is situated on an elevated plateau, about a quarter of a mile
from the town ; it is an imposing structure, and stands in the centre of
a park of about 60 acres, commanding a magnificent view of the
surrounding country ; and, for architectural appearance and internal
accommodation, is said to be one of the finest in the kingdom.
The
borough returned two members to the Irish Parliament so early as 1585,
and exercised that privilege until the Union, since which it has sent
only one to the Imperial Parliament ; the present representative is John
Mulholland, Esq., the landlord of the demesne. Constituency in 1876,
281. Quoile Quay is the port of the town, and admits vessels of 100
tons. The town was formerly a seat of the linen trade, and brewing,
tanning, and soap boiling were extensively carried on, but there are no
manufacturing industries at present. The town is entirely dependent on
agriculture, the country around being most productive. The County Down
Railway, completed March, 1859, connects the town with Belfast. The
Downpatrick and Newcastle Railway opened 1869, connects Dundrum and
Newcastle with Downpatrick. Branches of the Northern Bank and Ulster
Bank are the monetary establishments. The "Down Recorder" is published on Saturdays - J. S. Clarke, editor and proprietor. Adjoining
the town is Down Cathedral, a stately embattled edifice, comprising a
nave, choir and aisles, with a lofty tower at the west end. It is
furnished with a good organ, and there are handsome stalls for the
dignitaries, and it is believed that the remains of the Patron Saint of
Ireland are interred within the walls of the venerable edifice, and not
in the adjoining graveyard as popularly supposed. The Parish Church is a
capacious and well built edifice. The other places of worship are one
Presbyterian, one Unitarian, and two Methodist Churches, and a Roman
Catholic Chapel, with a handsome Nunnery adjoining. The High School is
in active operation here, and there are also a Blue Coat,
Parochial and other Schools. The Market House stands in the centre of
the town. Fairs - First Tuesday in each month. Markets - Tuesday and
Saturday. Population in 1876, 3,621.

DROMARA
Dromara (formerly styled
Annsborough, in compliment to a member of the Downshire family) is a
neat village situate on the eastern bank of the River Lagan, and about
three miles distant from the base of Slieve-Croob, whence the river
takes its rise. Dromara, which is distant from Belfast about sixteen
Irish miles, and is on the leading road from that town to Rathfriland,
contains about one hundred houses. The public buildings consist of the
Episcopal, the Presbyterian, and the Methodist Churches ; the Dispensary
House, and the Petty Sessions Court House, and Market House, which were
built some years ago at the sole expense of the lord of the soil, the
Marquis of Downshire. The markets in Dromara, which were formerly held
on Fridays, are now held on Tuesdays ; and the fairs, which are
generally well attended, are held on the first Friday in the months of
February, May, August and November, as also on the first Friday after
the 15th day of the months of March, June, September and December. The
Petty Sessions are held on the first Monday of each calendar month. The
present population of the village is about 300.

DROMORE
A market town in the
County Down, fourteen miles distant from Belfast, seated on the River
Lagan, and on the road from Dublin to Belfast. The Parish or
Cathedral Church has undergone various repairs, and has been lately much
improved. It derives most of its peculiar interest by having been
erected by the great and good bishop, the celebrated Jeremy Taylor, and
containing his remains, as well as those of the late Bishops Percy,
Rust, Digby and Wiseman. The Episcopal residence adjoins the town, and was built in the
time of Bishop Bernard, and the woods around it planted by Bishop Percy.
In the See House resided the several bishops of the diocese up to 1843,
when, at the death of Bishop Saurin, the diocese was annexed to Down and
Connor, and the See House has passed into other hands, and is now the
seat of James Quinn, Esq., J.P. The other places of worship in Dromore
are two Presbyterian and two Methodist Churches, one for Covenanters,
one Unitarian, and a Roman Catholic Chapel. The market is held on
Saturday. Fairs on the first Saturday in March, on 12th May, first
Saturday in August, 10th October, and the Saturday but one previous to
Christmas in each year, being in all twelve fairs in the town, which are
well attended ; a fair is also held on the first Saturday in each month,
except the months herein named. Population, in 1871, 2,408.

DUNDRUM
A small seaport town in County Down, about twenty two
miles from Belfast, four from Castlewellan, and seven from Downpatrick,
situate on the shore of the inner Bay of Dundrum. There is a fine hotel,
erected by the Marquis of Downshire with hot, cold, shower, and plunge
baths, on ornamental grounds attached. It is much resorted to by
visitors during the summer season, from its mild temperature, being shut
in from the open sea by the picturesque sand hills of Murlough, covered
with every variety of blooming heather and wild rose, and on which the
beautiful marine residence of Lord Downshire is situate. On an eminence
above the town are the fine ruins of the old castle, supposed to have
been built by Sir John De Courcey. There is an excellent school built
and supported by the Downshire family, in which Divine service is held
on Sunday evenings, the Parish Church being a mile distant. Also a
school under the National Board. The harbour is safe and well sheltered.

DUNGANNON
AND DONAGHMORE
Dungannon is a Parliamentary
borough, market and post town, in County Tyrone, thirty two miles W. by
S. from Belfast. It is situated on a beautiful hill, from which, on a
clear day may be seen with ease the fairest portion of Tyrone. It was
the seat of the O'Neills from its earliest days ; and on a hill,
crowning the town, formerly stood a castle erected by those powerful
chiefs. Dungannon confers the title of Viscount on the family of Trevor,
of Brynkinalt, near Chirk, North Wales. The town consists of a square,
and four principal with several smaller streets. There is a Literary
Society in a flourishing condition, with a library and museum. Courts of
Quarter and Petty Sessions are regularly held. The Court House has a
bridewell at back. The present old Registry of Dungannon Church
commences in 1665 - (church rebuilt in 1869) - the Registry before that
having been burned, and contains a few signatures of George Walker the
defender of Derry. The other places of worship are two Presbyterian
Churches, two Methodist Churches, and a Roman Catholic Chapel. The
principal charities consist of Free Schools, in which the children of
the poor are educated ; a fever Hospital, a Dispensary, and Union
Workhouse, opened in 1842. The College, or Royal School, one of the five
regal endowments, was founded by Charles I., in 1628, as a Free Grammar
School, and largely endowed. The present building, erected in 1786 by
Primate Robinson, and since then considerably enlarged, is in a most
flourishing condition. The representative of the borough is Thomas
Dickson, Esq., Milltown House. Drumglass collieries are rather more than
a mile from the town, and are the property of the Tyrone Coal Mining
Company. Trade in grain and farm produce is the most important here.
There are dye and bleach works. The leather trade is of some importance,
and earthenware, bricks, and tiles are manufactured in the vicinity.
There are several corn mills actively at work, and a good spinning mill
and two weaving factories. There are branches of the Belfast Banking
Company and Provincial Bank of Ireland, and a Savings Bank. The market
is held on Thursday. Coalisland, which is situated three miles from
Dungannon and two from Stewartstown, is a place of some importance ; an
extensive pottery and spade manufactory is carried on near and in it,
and the Ulster Canal runs through it - one of the Company's offices
being in town. The population in 1871, according to the census, was
4,119.
Donaghmore, two miles distant, has
an ancient ecclesiastical history. St. Patrick having built a Church
where the old graveyard now stands, close to which, on the village
street, is a fine specimen of the Old Irish Cross. Governor Walker was
rector of this parish at the time the Protestants were driven into
Derry. His remains are interred in the Parish Church at Castlecaulfield.
Wolfe, the author of the ode on the "Burial of Sir John
Moore," was curate of this parish.
