ner's ferry, in the barony of Dungannoo. Here arc 

 manufactured all forts of rough crockery ware, fire 

 bricks, and tiles for malt and oat-kilns, of as good a 

 quality as any imported. 



The clay, before it is baked, is of a dirty white ; the 



bcft of it is made into fmall oblong pieces, of about a 



i 



pound each, which is dried to the fun, and fold on the 

 fpot at a penny each. It is ufcd as a fubftitutc for ful- 

 lers earth, for cleaning leather breeches, &c. For this 

 purpofe it is fent to many diftant parts, and brings a 

 profitable return. 



SECT. 6. Water. 

 \ 



THERE are few counties in the kingdom better 

 fupplied with water, than this county. The Black- 

 water accompanies it for upwards of thirty miles, 

 dividing it from the counties of Monaghan and Ar- 

 magh for the whole length of that courfe, and at 

 length falls into Lougneagh at Maghery. 



The principal river is nearly central in the county, 

 and goes under various names ; the part of it, which 

 lies above, or, to the fouth of Omagh, and fomewhat 

 north of the town, goes by the name of Gammon, or 

 Camaun. From thence to Newtown-ftewart, it goes by 

 the name of Struel, which appears to be newly coined.
