At eight o'clock in the evening the religious ceremony was performed by Rev. MORRISON, at the church, in the presence of a large number of the Missionaries and 500 natives. Mrs. SMITH is the fourth and youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.C. RUSSELL. She is a graduate of the Cape Girardeau Normal. Mr. SMITH is the oldest son of Rev. Newton SMITH, who was for 5 years pastor of the Belleview Presbyterian Church, but now pastor in New Madrid, and is a graduate from Theological Seminary, Richmond, Virginia. We wish them a long and happy wedded life. -Iron Co. Register
