Tbe sound of the 6re bell in th9 still i r hours of the night carries with it a pecu liarly thrilling and almost indescribable feeling of horror, even when we1 are not in danger from the flames ourselves and aro astured from observation that the scene of conflagration is far removed from our own dwelling. But what must be tbe terror and the awful horror that awaits one wber suddenly awakening from sleep pro found, in the dead hours i.f tho night, the first object to meet the gaza is the lurid glare of the flames that an licking up tbe side of his dwelling and the roar of tbe rapidly i increasing fire, the first souud that is heard. Such was the condition of three families in this city, this morning, re siding on Mulberry and on Second streets Ahnut 4 o'clock this morning, cr a short time thereafter, the kitchen belong ing to the dwelling of Mr Mr. Jno. Kent Brown j on Mulberry street, was discover ed to be ouffire. The alarm was imme diately sounded, but before the engines or any of! the 'fire department, except, per haps, the Chief, Col. Roger Mcore, who resides in the neighborhood, could reach the scene, the dwelling of Mr. Brown and the dwelling house west belonging to the estate of tbe late Isaac B. Smith, together with the kitchen on Mr. Geo. H. Kelly's premises on Second street, were all on ire and tbe inmates of tbe first two named residences had scarcely time to leave the house-jcatcning at such things as were convenient to their - hands before the buildings were wrapped in flames. Mr. Brown had a sick wife and two sick-chil dren- to look after and remove from his dwelling before he could turn hia atteD tion to the saving of property, and by the time he had deposited bis family in a rjlace of safety the flames - - had made such rat. id progress that all that could be saved from the destroying element was his parlor furniture. All else was lost, including his own and b s family's clothing, hh? family,- silver, bed and bedding, in fact, every thing.even to bis wife's watch witb the single exceptiou of the furniture men tioned above. Officer B yant, ef the police force, ran up to Mr. Brown's residence as soon as the fire was discovered and made everv demonstration to wake the mr family up, aud finally broke open the frontdoor .and commenced moving out some of the furniture that was saved . From the property ol Mr. Brown tte flames seemed to communicate, so we un derstand, almost simultaneously to the buildiDgs on Mr. Kelley premises and to the dwelling " be'onging to the estate of the late Isaac B. Smith, occupied at the time by Mr. T. O. Bunting and family, and two youug ladies, daughters of the deceased gentle man above mentioned Tho last named dwelling was insured, we understand, in the Lynchburj Insurance Company, of Lynchburg, Virginia, of which Col. Wm. L. Smith'is agent, for $400. But a good deal of the furniture of tbe household to gether with the ent:re wardrobe of the young ladies we are told.upon which there was no: insurance, was los in the flames. The loss on this building will probably reach $2,000. Loss on furniture and olher effects $3Q0. Some portion of the parlor furniture in this dwelling was removed before the building burned to the ground, bat a very old colored wo man, formerly a slave in Mr. Smith's family, who reided in the basement of the house couW with diffbulty be aroused . . ie ta time to move out, ana out lor tbe 4 .

H Kelley, lest all of hi3 clothing (except a fireman's suit which he don nei as soon , as he discovered the flames,) his gold watch and a fine pistol besides. Mr. Walter Kelley estimates his loss at ever $125, other members of the family a!so lost some of tha:r wardrobe. Mr. Kelley the elder, estimates hi loss on bis furui ture at $150. The house was insured, so Mr. K. informed-Us, i 3 the Connecticut Fire Insurance Company,! of Hartford. Col W. L. Smith, agent, at $4,000. Mr. Jdo.

Mr, T, P. Sykes house pext west of the Smith house was also saved from the flames by tbe ener getic efforts of tbe fire department.

The Hew Steam Saw Mill of Mr A. I. Wilson ETCrjthlns: Worklns: Smoothly and Business In Full Blast. Truly is he a philanthropist who causes two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before. Three months ago Mr. A. Y. Wilson , a young man of nerve, en ergy and good business qualifications came among us and immediately set to work to build a saw mill in this city. The obstacles he had to overcome ia the way of unskilled labor, etc., seemed almost insurmountable, but by well directed efforts he has built and has now in thorough working order the handsomest and most complete mill of its capacity in j the United States. The saw mill stands I on or near the sight of the old Dudley & Pierce's mill. It is complete in all of its appointments and is supplied with all the I new and improved machinery of the day. I The engine room Is made of brick and is I 30x32 feet. Its roof is covered with sheet iron. The engine is a stationary high was submitted by the Ordinance Com mit pressure engine of 100 horse power and tee in relation to the letter of Alex. Old has two tubnlar boilers 12 feet long and ham and the matter of stevedores. The 43 inches in diameter, and each has 28 four I inch tubes. Th? engines and boilers are J set on a massiva foundation of granite I the stevedores to a special committee con and cement which looks as though siating of Aldermen H. G. Flanner. J. A it would stand for ages. Through the engine room runs the sawdust conveyer which supplies the furnaces with the r necessary fuel; the surplus sawdait is I carried up through the conveyor and emptied into pockets and is hauled off by carts. THE I MAIN BUILI?. is 30 x 140 feet acd is, two, stories high. The sid'-s ends and roof of this building are covered with fluted sheet iron. Oa j the lower floor are the wheels, bande and pulleys for operating tfc machinery, and driving the savja and carriage above. There are two of A. F. Barlett Co, 'a double rtymablo engines which works tbe circular carriage and feed the logs to the saw; l ia known to mill men aa "a feed and gig work.'' iTorrence'a log turner is also worked from this floor by the machinery, but it does itduty on the upper floor. The driving wheel ' which runs the mill is 10 feet in diameter and 22 inch face. Ail tbe wheel and i?cd are improve menu os tha old-' kind.

Ibis machinery is. very simple and is as pretty as it is useful and simp!. Next is the angle bdt and shaft machi nery for 'driving three saws, which is very much admired. The machinery to operate tbe trimming and butt saws, and geared rollers is something entirely new and gives those operating the saws perfect satisfaction. THE FEC3ND FLOOR, unlike tho floor bolow, is a busy lift'Ot njun and machinery. Utr the first flor the machiuery was rtic exclusively by steauj, whilo on the second, steam Is assisted by men in running the carriages etc. Tte log carriage is run down an iron track to the water and floats under the logs, when it is hoisted up" by means ol chain; as it comei up the track tbd logs are fastened by iron teeth on the carriage and brought tafeJy to tbe saw room without being touched. From tfie carriage, the logs are rolled ou inclined skids," where it is: taken by the Toirence loS turner and placed on the carriage, which feeds it to the saw, and thence to the geared roller machinery, which separates the planks 'requiring edg ing from th slabs and lumber, aud car ries them 10 the places desirtd.
