MILFORD, CO. DONEGAL.-At the head of Mulroy Bay, on the northern coast of Donegal, embowered in groves of splendid forest trees, stands the pretty hamlet of Milford, sketched above. It is distant but six miles from Rathmullen, celebrated in Irish history as the town from which Hugh O'Neill, the victor of the Yellow Ford; Rory O'Donnell, brother of Red Hugh and chief of Clan-Conal, and their families, sailed for France, finally settling in Rome, A. D. 1607.
