SAINTFIELD
Is a small market town in County
Down, situated midway on the leading road from Belfast to Downpatrick,
four miles from Ballynahinch, nine from Lisburn, and six from Comber. Tonoughnieve
was the Irish name
of the town, which means the "Hill of the Saints," or "Saint
Hill," translated into Saintfield. On the 9th of June, 1798, a brisk
skirmish occurred here between the rebels and a company of the York
Fencibles. The rebels took advantage of the soldiers and made great
slaughter. The soldiers were buried in a small island in the lake, north of
the town, which is called York Island. The seat of the lord of the manor is
situated in a beautiful demesne, about a mile north of the town; as is also
the seat of the late Rev. G. R. Moore, Rowallen, who expended many thousands
of pounds in planting trees and shrubs. Petty Sessions are held first Tuesday
in each month. The market is on every Monday, and the fair is on last
Wednesday of each month. The market is on every Monday, and the fair is on
last Wednesday of each month. There is one Church of Ireland, two
Presbyterian Churches, and the Roman Catholic Chapel and two National

great advantage to the town and district.

SCARVA
Scarvagh, as the name was always written till a few years ago, is a
prettily-situated little village, containing 150 inhabitants. It is a
station on the main
line of the Great Northern Railway, and has a branch line to Banbridge and
Ballyroney. In 1746 Mr. John Reilly obtained a charter for a market and
fair, and established works for the preparation of salt from the rock
brought from Cheshire. The salt works and market have long since ceased, and
the market house was converted into the village school about eighty years
ago. Fairs, which are largely attended, are held four times a year. The
village is situated on the canal between Newry and Lough Neagh, being nine
miles from the former town. It has a small dock and quayage, with a siding
from the railway to the water edge; a considerable trade is done in turf by
lighters from the Montiaghs bogs. The public buildings are the National
School, a Presbyterian Church, and the Church of Ireland, styled St.
Matthew's erected 1850, when Scarvagh was constituted into a separate parish
from Aghaderg. This church occupies a commanding position on the top of the
hill, overlooking the whole village and valley below. It is on the site
where-on in 1641 General Monk built a castle to command the pass at this
place into the County Armagh. The church is a neat edifice, built in the
early English style of Gothic architecture, and consists of nave, small
chancel, south annex, and western tower, surmounted by a broached spire of
graceful proportions of cut stone. The interior of the roof is of massive
open timber work, constructed with carved hammer-beams resting on stone
corbels.

STEWARTSTOWN
Is a
small market town in County Tyrone, about thirty five miles W. from Belfast,
situated on the road from Dungannon to Coleraine. This place derived its
original name, Stewartstown, from Sir Andrew Stewart, to whom James I.
granted the surrounding district; in the year 1608, or soon afterwards, he
erected a castle, or rather converted other buildings into one, and laid the
foundation of the present town. About two miles from the town is Stuart
Hall, the seat of Earl Castle-Stuart, who derives his title of Earl from
this place. The town consists of a spacious square and three principal
streets, well arranged, and the houses are built with stone and roofed with
slate. The Hibernian Banking Company have a branch office on market days. The Ulster Banking Company, Limited, have a branch
also. The
Great Northern Railway Company have a station close to the town. The Market
House stands in the centre of the town. Petty Sessions are held on the first
Wednesday in every month. The Church of Donaghenry is a neat
and commodious structure, as also the glebe house. The other places of
worship are two Presbyterian, and one Methodist Church, and a Roman Catholic
Chapel. Each of the Presbyterian and the Methodist congregations have very
handsome and commodious manses. The market is held on Wednesday, and the
fair on the first Wednesday on and after the 12th of every month

STRABANE
and LIFFORD
Strabane is a market town in County Tyrone, 102 miles W. by
N. from Belfast, eighteen N.N.W. from Omagh, and twelve from Derry, finely
seated on the River Mourne, and on the line of the Great Northern Railway
from Londonderry to Dublin. Strabane is one of the largest and most populous towns
in the county; and its environs are replete with interest and beauty. It was
an inconsiderable village until James I., in 1611, granted the surrounding
district to the Duke of Abercorn. The family of the Duke of Abercorn enjoys
the title of Viscount and Baron from it. The flax and tow mills (Sion Mills)
of the Messrs. Herdman, three miles distant, are very extensive. The Belfast
Banking Company, Ltd., the Provincial Bank of Ireland, and the Ulster Bank,
Ltd., have branches in operation here, and there are a Savings
Bank, Hibernian Bank; branches open on Wednesdays only. The Presbyterians
have two churches, the Wesleyan Methodists one, and the Roman Catholics two
spacious chapels. A Protestant evangelistic service is conducted every
Sunday evening at 7-30 in Barrack Street Hall. There are several excellent
public schools for education of both sexes; these, together with
a Fever Hospital, a Dispensary, and a Union Workhouse, comprise the
benevolent and remedial institutions. Two manses have recently been erected
on the Derry Road, one for First Presbyterian Church, and the other for the
Methodist Church. The Steamboat Companies do a very
large and profitable business, under the able management of Mr. James
McFarlane, J.P. The Town Hall is very commodious. Fairs - 1st February, 12th May,
12th August, and 12th November; there are likewise monthly fairs on the
first Thursdays in the other months. The flax markets, held on Wednesday,
are the largest in the district, and are attended by buyers from every part
of the province. Being the centre of a rich agricultural country, the grain
market on Tuesday is very large and important. The large factory on the Derry Road.
Messrs. Stapley & Smith have also erected a very large factory in Barrack
Street; and there are several
other important factories, as named in the following lists. A Steam bakery
has lately been erected in Aberdeen Square by Mr. R. Pollock, and a most
extensive trade is now being carried on.
Lifford, the County
and Assize town of Donegal, is situated on the western bank of the Foyle,
opposite to Strabane, and contains the Donegal County Jail and Court-house,
the latter being for the Assizes and Quarter Sessions. The Church of Ireland is
a neat edifice. The County Infirmary, and a bequest by Sir Richard Hansard,
Bart., for educating children of the parish, are the
charities. The Earl of Erne, the excellent landlord, is exceedingly liberal
to his tenantry. The fairs and markets have been transferred to Strabane. A
very large and handsome building has been erected in Lifford for the
accommodation of the Judges of Assizes

TANDRAGEE
(Anciently "Tawnatclee," or "Tawnatelee,")
is a market town in County Armagh, twenty four miles S.W. from Belfast,
seated on the river Cusher, and at the intersection of the road from
Portadown to Newry. The Newry Canal, which comes within a mile and a half of
the town, offers all its facilities of communication for trading with the
larger towns of Belfast and Newry. The Great Northern Railway passes one and
a half
miles from the town, on which there is a station between Tandragee and
Gilford, at the Madden Bridge. The town stands on a steep hill, and consists
of two principal and three smaller streets. It is on the estate of the Duke
of Manchester. The mansion or Castle of Tandragee is a large and baronial pile, erected by
George Sixth Duke of Manchester (grandfather of the present Duke), when Viscount Mandeville,
who was married to Miss Sparrow, heiress of General Bernard Sparrow, owner
of the estate, and
occupies the site of an ancient castellated and fortified residence.
Adjoining the castle is a beautiful chapel, and the entire pile, with its
adjunctive beauties, are well deserving the visit of the tourist. A large
spinning mill in the town and a weaving factory at Laurel Vale, about a mile
distant the property of Messrs. T. Sinton & Sons, gives employment to a
great number of persons. A corn mill, belonging to Messrs. T. H. White &
Son, which was destroyed by fire a few months since, has been rebuilt, and
affords a ready market for oats to farmers within six or seven miles. Petty
Sessions for the division are held once a month. The Church, nearly
demolished during the wars of 1641, was rebuilt in the year 1812, and
enlarged in 1846, is a very handsome Gothic structure. The other places of
worship are for Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists and Roman Catholics. The
market is held on Wednesday. The fairs are July 5th and November 5th.

TRILLICK,
COUNTY TYRONE
The
neat little town of Trillick is situate about two miles from the station of
that name on the Great Northern Railway. It is on the leading road from
Omagh to Enniskillen - 16 miles from the former and 12 from the latter. It
is 8 miles distant from Fintona, 6 from Irvinestown, and 4 from Dromore. The
market is held on Saturdays, and the fair on the 14th of each month. It has
a Police Station, Dispensary, and Petty Sessions. The only place of worship
in the village, except a Methodist Chapel, is the Church of Ireland, a nice
little edifice, said to be the neatest of its kind in the Diocese. It was
built by the Archdale family - who are the owners of the soil - about twenty
years ago, as was also the handsome Parsonage close by, where the Incumbent,
Rev. J. Forde Leathley, resides. The Roam Catholic Chapel is about a mile
and a quarter distant from the village. About a quarter of a mile from the
village are the ruins of the historic "Castle Mervyn." Trillick is a Polling
District, containing over 1,000 voters.

WARINGSTOWN
and DONAGHCLONEY
Waringstown
is a clean and picturesque little village in the parish of Donaghcloney and
County of Down, two miles from Lurgan; it contains about 700 inhabitants,
and takes its name from the family of Waring, which settled here more than
two hundred years ago, when driven from England by the religious
persecutions during Queen Mary's reign. The village consists of two
principal streets, which are broad and commodious, and planted with
beautiful plain trees, adding greatly to the appearance of the place. Damask
weaving is briskly carried on in the village and neighbourhood. The chief
buildings are the Parish Church, a venerable edifice more than 200 years
standing, the massive tower being roofed, as few places now are, with oak
shingle; the Presbyterian Church is a modern building in the Italian
style of architecture; the Court House is in the middle of the village, and
three National Schools - one each for boys, girls and infants. About
two miles away, in the direction of Banbridge, lies the village of
Donaghcloney, which possesses few features of interest beyond the natural
beauties of the district. There are several artistic residences in the
neighbourhood, and the weaving factory and bleach green (on the river
Lagan), belonging to Messrs. W. Liddell & Co., give employment to a
large
number of people. The only public buildings are - the Presbyterian Church at Old Donaghcloney, and the Banoge, Donaghcloney and Fortescue
National Schools.

WARRENPOINT
Is
one of the most favourite watering-places in Ulster, is situated at the head
of the beautiful Bay of Carlingford, and is distant about five miles from Newry.
A century ago Warrenpoint (so-called from the circumstance of a
rabbit-warren having formerly existed at the place) could only boast of a
few houses; now its population exceeds 2,000, and in summer reaches 5,000.
The town boasts of a spacious Square, in which many of the principal places
of business are situated, and in the shops every article, useful or
ornamental, required in the family can be purchased on as reasonable terms
as in any town in Ireland. Several good streets run from the Square, and
along the shore are terraces containing substantially built and commodious
houses. Many of these are eagerly secured for the summer months by strangers
and the business men of the province. The entire place has an air of comfort
and prosperity that at once favourably impresses health-seekers. The
situation of Warrenpoint, built as it is on the verge of the mountain-girt
bay, is excellent; and the view from the pleasant promenade is grand in the
extreme. Before us sparkles the lovely Lough, scene of many an equatic
contest, and the resort of all who love to breathe the sea breeze while
dipping their oars in its generally placid waters. To the right the grand
old hills of Louth life their heads into the sky, with Omeath and
Carlingford nestling at the base. In the distance Greenore, with its hotel
and railway station, is visible. On the left we see the picturesque villas
which skirt the bay, the Ross monument, Rostrevor, and Rostrevor Quay, with
its magnificent hotel, "The Mourne," having a grand mountain background.
Away in the distance Greencastle, the Blockhouse, and the Lighthouse are
descried, the whole constituting a picture of almost incomparable beauty and
grandeur. No wonder that Dr. Knox, in his "Irish Watering Places," says -
"It is scarcely possible anywhere to point out a more beautiful district
than that lying between Rostrevor and the large seaport of Newry." The roads
in the neighbourhood of Warrenpoint are particularly inviting, and in about
twenty minutes an ordinary pedestrian can reach Narrow-water Castle, the
residence of Major Hall, R.A., D.L., one of the most beautiful seats in the
country. The house is an imposing structure, the gardens are models, and the
drive through the thickly-wooded demesne is a thing to be remembered.
