Daniel Shcffer. We only had room, lasi week, to insert the proceedings of the Conferees, unanimously nominating Daniel Shefler, as a candidate for Congress. This nomination was looked for by every roter in the district, we hive no doubt, was desired by a great majority. No man ever represented the people of this district with more care, attention and prudence, than Judge Sheffer has done--and there is no one, more deserving of an election. He is a native of York county; has resided in Adams county for thirty- five years, twenty-five years of that time he was associate Judge on the bench of the county--and no man can say, that he, in ail that time of private residence and official duty, ever deviated from ihe path of propriety, lie is known to almost every citizen, he knows the wants and interests of the people, and knows how to represent them.

In congress he voted against every proposition for extravagance, or tending to increase our public expenditures--He also voted in favor of retrenchment and reform, in every instance. He voted to prevent speculation ia pubhc lands, and to enable the poor man to acquire a home, in the west, with advantage to himself and family.

The exercises were concluded by a Baccalaureate address from the President. The prosperous condition of Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, has enabled' the board of Trustees, at their recent pension, to make arrangements lo extend the instruction of the institution and increase its efficiency. The Rev. Mr. Smith of Boston, has been appointed Professor of German French, and is expected to enter upon his duties, next session.

The numerous friends of the College, who desired that ample provision made for instruction in German, by person, will now be gratified. The preparatory department will, hereafter, be on the beat footing; the number of instructors having being increased, and facilities being furnished for exercising a constant supervision ever the boys, hoth in their studies, and amusements, ui the new Edifice, i will be ready for them, by the next session.
