Abstract: Let $overlinep(n)$ be the number of overpartitions of $n$, we establish and give a short elementary proof of the following congruence [overline{p}({{4}^{alpha }}(40n+35))equiv 0 , (�mod , 40),] where $alpha,n$ are nonnegative integers. By letting $alpha=0$ we proved a conjecture of Hirschhorn and Sellers. Some new congruences for $overlinep(n)$ modulo 3 and 5 have also been found, including the following two infinite families of Ramanujan-type congruences: for any integers $nge0$ and $alphage1$, [overline{p}({{5}^{2alpha +1}}(5n+1))equiv overline{p}({{5}^{2alpha +1}}(5n+4))equiv 0 , (�mod , 5).]
