OMAGH, CO. TYRONE. -The capital town of the county Tyrone, pictured above, is situated in the midst or a most delightful country, picturesque and wondrously fertile, where the Drumragh and Camowen rivers unite their waters from the rushing Struel. The name of Omagh is said by some Gaelic scholars to signify "the Seate of Chieftains." It grew gradually to importance in the fostering shade of a splendid abbey, erected early in the 7th century by a pious prince of the Hy-Niall tribe, who were the native owners of broad TyrEoghan, Anglice, "the Land of Owen." In later times, about the 15th century, a strong castle was built there by a member of the same great family. It was bravely defended by Art Ó Neill against the armies of Elizabeth, but was finally captured and partially destroyed. The place was rebuilt in the time of James I. and was assaulted and captured by the brave Sir Phelim Ó Neill during the great Irish uprising, in 1641. When the Puritan army finally triumphed, the castle was razed to the ground. In 1689, during the Williaminte struggle, the town was scorched by fire, and, in 1743, it suffered severly from the same merciless scourge. It was solidly rebuilt, and, except in the outskirts, presents a nest and prosperous aspect. The court house is a very fine structure, and there are numerous churches and schools, tohgether with a spacious convent of artistic design.
