Help translating baptismal record from Bern, Ins, Switzerland
This is the Baptism record of the Reformed Church FHC Reel 4758081 pg 524/568 for Henrietta Düscher or Discher. I was sent this and told it was Henrietta's baptism record. I honestly can't make out anything but the date. I do not have an image with better resolution. Thank you for any help you can provide.

The complete page may be viewed on www.query.sta.be.ch/Dateien/19/D95196.pdf (pdf page 98) - unfortunately another example of the occasionally poor image quality of these images. So this doesn't help a lot … but on pdf page 96 (first entry on right page) we have a Daniel - confirming they way the D is written here. So here we have:
1842 Decemb. 11 [date of baptism]
geboren den 1.ten Christm[onat] eine ehel[iche] Henriette Duscher [spelling today: Düscher].
Parents: Rudolf Duscher, Wilhelms sel[igen] Sohn von Ins and
Elisabeth Graser, Mathÿsen sel[igen] Dochter von Ins.
Wittnesses: Jakob Anker, Abrahams Sohn
Margaretha Geißler [spelling today: Geissler], Peters sel[igen] des Kirchmaÿers Dochter
Rosina S…[?], Peters Dochter, alle von Ins.
Henriette Duscher/Düscher was born 01 Dec and baptised 11 Dec 1842.
Parents were Rudolf Duscher, son of the late Wilhelm, and Elisabeth Graser, daughter of the late Mathias.
Witnesses - see above. Kirchmaÿer/Kirchenmeier is the administrator of the church property.
I'm not sure about Rosina's surname - possibly someone with access to the records on familyseaarch could provide a copy with higher resolution.
I have just proposed a structure for discussion titles on https://community.familysearch.org/de/discussion/129680/what-title-would-be-best-for-postings, which I would like to bring to your attention.
If you are not yet familiar with research in Switzerland, you will find a few (links to) hints on https://community.familysearch.org/de/discussion/comment/464392/#Comment_464392.

I have added a slightly more extensive explanation of Kirchmaÿer on https://community.familysearch.org/de/discussion/comment/466837/#Comment_466837.

Thank you, Debra.
So the witness is Rosina Durni, Durni being an "old" (since before 1800) citizen family of Ins.
In the attached image I have pointed out the two different D in comparison to the S - a good example that often one has to "learn" a given handwriting by looking at several pages in the same handwriting.
