ROBINSON, MRS. RACHEL B. - At the residence of her husband, in Staunton township, on the 28th day of September of Erysipelas, Mrs. Rachel B. Robinson, wife of Samuel Robinson, Superintendent of the County Infirmary.  Mrs. R. was in good health up to within a short time of her death.  In the performance of some of her domestic duties, she received a slight injury upon the hand, which, though scarcely attracting notice at the time, seen after inflamed and produced erysipelas, which baffled the skill of her physicians, and resulted in death in a few days.  Mrs. R. was an amiable and excellent woman, a devoted wife, a kind mother, and an exemplary Christian.  Those only who have been associated with, and have lost such a one, can fully appreciate the loss this excellent family have sustained.
